Fueled by explosive advances in the technology for collecting quantitative, comprehensive data, biologists and biomedical scientists have become engaged in a search for new, more systematic ways to organize and understand the living world.
Engineers, mathematicians, computer scientists, physicists and chemists have come together with traditional biologists to forge a new field, Systems Biology, in which life is viewed from the perspectives of complex systems, networks, devices and design principles.
UCI is among only a handful of institutions offering graduate training in this new field, through our Howard Hughes Medical Institute-funded initiative in Mathematical, Computational and Systems Biology (MCSB) and the affiliated Mathematical and Computational Biology Gateway Program (MCB).
