Cellular Dynamics and Function Cluster

CDF seeks theory-driven predictive investigations of diverse cellular and subcellular systems

Genetic Mechanisms Cluster

GM supports inventive studies seeking to address the fundamental questions of how genes work, how genes are maintained and inherited, and how genes and genomes change

Genetic circuits linked within single cells

Systems and Synthetic Biology Cluster

SSB supports projects to generate understanding of emergent properties of biological systems through integrated theoretical frameworks guided by the laws of physics, mathematics, chemistry, and principles of engineering and computer science

Molecular Biophysics Cluster

MB supports fundamental biophysical and biochemical research projects that address the relationships between structure, dynamics and function in studies of biomolecules and their interactions
