Our Faculty
Our faculty members come from over 20 departments in the Faculty of Arts and Science, the School of Medicine, and the School of Engineering and Applied Science. Many faculty have ongoing research collaborations, which focus on exploring exciting problems in biology using quantitative, physical approaches.
Research Areas
Research carried out in PEB labs encompasses a broad range of time and length scales and frequently bring together wet lab work with theory, computation, and modeling. Our research groups explore one or more of the following research areas:
- Bioengineering (Bioinspired Design; Synthetic Biology; Biomaterials Engineering)
- Bioinformatics (Informatics, -Omics, and Multidimensional Analysis)
- Biological Circuits (Cell Signaling, Sensing, and Computing; Cell Fate; Pattern Formation and Synchronization)
- Computational Biology (Simulations and Modeling of Biological Processes)
- Imaging Biological Systems (Imaging & Optics; Image Analysis)
- Neuroscience (Computational neuroscience, Sensory Neuroscience, Neuronal Computation)
- Properties, Structure, and Composition of Biological Systems (Mechanobiology; Biomaterial Properties and Composition; Cellular Structure and Dynamics)
- Systems Biology (Collective Behavior; Cancer Systems Biology; Systems Immunology)
