Combining them enables substantial performance gains in a field termed Scientific Machine Learning (SciML). This review surveys recent advances in integrating these approaches for systems biology and outlines practical directions for applying SciML across biological research.","UvA-DARE (Digital Academic Repository)  \nThe rise of scientific machine learning  \na perspective on combining mechanistic modelling with machine learning for systems biology  \nNoordijk, B. ; Garcia Gomez, M.
