Initiated in 2005, this collaborative project brings mathematicians, biologists, computer scientists, and physicists together to understand fundamental processes of large, complex biological systems.
Burroughs Wellcome Fund Career Award at the Scientific Interface
-
The Burroughs Wellcome Fund awards approximately 10 long-term fellowships each year to support research at the interface of the physical and biological sciences.
James S. McDonnell Foundation Award for Studying Complex Systems
-
A grant to support the study of "Mechanisms and evolution of complex life history traits in bacterial viruses." This research program will take a unified approach, linking gene regulation to functional trait variation, to understanding the diverse mechanisms by which viruses exploit bacterial cells.
NSF Genome-Wide Analysis of Root Traits
-
This multidisciplinary collaboration connects plant biologists, molecular biologists, mathematicians, physicists, computer scientists, ecologists and educators together in an effort to identify the genes that control the root system architecture of crops. The abstract for the program can be found here: program abstract.
