    Collapse Overview 
    Collapse Overview
    We are a Systems Biology lab. We are interested in quantitative studies of biological systems, applying and developing quantitative methods and tools to address key biological questions. We believe that an interdisciplinary approach focusing on quantitative questions at a systems level will uncover new biological principles and help us to better understand complex disease and design new therapeutic strategies. The lab has both wet and dry components. Some of our current projects include: yeast cell cycle regulation, stress response, the function and topology of biological networks, modeling cancer pathways and development, systems drug design, and theoretical issues in systems biology.

    Altmetrics Details PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
