the computational modeling, simulation, analysis, and mechanical manipulation of biological
networks, bio-image informatics, as well as the development of new sensors/devices for
biomolecular analysis. A number of important biological processes are under investigation,
including gene regulation, protein translocation, bioadhesion, and cellular mechanosensation.

The Systems Biology program is supported by superb interdisciplinary research and education
centers on campus, including the Center for Control Dynamical Systems and Computation,
the ARO-sponsored Institute for Collaborative Biotechnologies, the California NanoSystems
Institute, the Center for Stem Cell Biology and Engineering, the Neuroscience Research
Institute, the Materials Research Laboratory, Center for Bio-image Informatics, and the
Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics.
