"an American theoretical biologist and Professor of Biophysics at Dalhousie University" (Wikipedia)

"He very early began to develop the concept that biology should be based on notions of function rather than structure, and that it was function that was of primary concern in understanding the basis of life and of organism. He subsequently explored the possibilities of building function-based models of biological processes. These turned out to be very different from, and far more general than, reductionistic treatments based on structural ideas. His teacher Nicolas Rashevsky, who initiated the first definitive study in this area, had termed this approach ‘‘relational biology’’.
