Research Areas
Research within PEB focuses on using quantitative approaches to address biological questions. Here, we display the various interconnected research areas that exist within PEB. Several PEB faculty are part of multiple research areas, and many faculty collaborate with one another.
-
Bioengineering
How can biological systems be mimicked or manipulated?
-
Biological circuits
How do cells make decisions?
-
Computational biology
What rules govern biological processes and systems?
-
Imaging biological systems
What can we learn from imaging cells, tissues, and organisms?
-
Properties, structure, and composition of biological systems
What are the building blocks of biological systems? What are their properties and how are they organized?
