I became very interested in CT from a biological perspective. The work originates from Robert Rosen who describes how biological/complex systems are not (completely) reducible to formal systems (aka any model of a natural system will always be incomplete+it is impossible to explicitly list out all the rules governing the system) because they "contain a model of themselves" to which they anticipate the future and act on towards their benifit.

Many relate his work as closely tied to Gödel's incompleteness theorem but for biology. The purpose of using category theory is that it is general enough to not talk about specific parts of an organism's construction, but rather how their general functional parts relate to each other.
