该领域的研究涉及发展对生物过程的基本物理化学理解，并将知识转化为治疗和工业重要产品和过程的有效设计。这是通过将分子细胞生物学领域与物理化学原理和过程工程原理交织在一起来实现的。在该领域中进行的项目包括：开发计算系统生物学模型，以通过解释实验和计算数据以及背景生物学知识来发现，量化和解释表征生物学过程的关系。研究炎症的生物学系统模型研究免疫应答和生物节律之间的相互作用。逆转神经损伤和疾病的衰弱作用的策略的开发目前取决于对神经系统建立和维持的机制的更好理解。健康的动物。
Research in this area involves developing fundamental physicochemical understanding of biological processes and translating the knowledge into efficient design of therapeutically and industrial important products and processes. This is accomplished by interweaving the fields of molecular cellular biology with principles of physical chemistry and process engineering. Projects carried out in this area include: The development of computational systems biology models for discovering, quantifying and interpreting the relationships that characterize biological processes through the interpretation of experimental and computational data along with background biological knowledge. The development of systems biology models of inflammation studying the interplay between immune response and biological rhythms, The development of strategies for reversing the debilitating effects of nerve injury and disease currently hinges on a better understanding of mechanisms by which the neural circuitry is established and maintained in the healthy animal.
