Systems and Quantitative Biology
Since our earliest days, researchers in UW BIOE havebeen using mathematical modeling to reveal the mathematical underpinnings of human physiology; this work has had applications from cardiology to biomechanics to pharmacology. Lately, our scope has expanded to include the growing field of systems biology, which uses engineering tools to allow us to understand how the complex interactions of genes and proteins run the cells, tissues and organs of the body. As part of the emerging field of synthetic biology, we are now applying this basic knowledge to engineer new organisms that can heal or prevent disease.
