When you say "the only system that's been modeled with any confidence", I'll assume you are talking about Arkin's work. There's a good bit of work going on this area. And not all of it is academic. There are companies building systems to model cells, tissues, diseases, etc. The goal is to help pharma companies come up with better drugs and spend less money doing it (e.g., fewer failed drugs, dead ends).
