Please learn to quote properly, so readers will know to whom you are

but maybe in conjunction with the Proteome project ... a set of
exploratory projects that start seeking an integrated model of the cell
as the "end product" ... that way the initial system level work
concerning data and modeling standards, software processes and the
integration framework of a fully integrated cellular model can be
defined.

Maybe. But the project would be truly gigantic and would, I suspect,
take decades at a minimum -- assuming that it's possible at all.
Remember, there are dozens of different cell types in the human body,
all doing different jobs. Even if you could model a muscle cell, it
wouldn't mean you know doodly about a liver cell.

The problem may not even be solvable. I strongly suspect that the
system is too complex for the human mind to grasp; we'd never really
be sure we'd done it right.
