The Cutting Edge of Medical Technology Content, Community & Collaboration
Chicago Systems Biology Research Funded with $18 Million in Grants!
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences, part of the National Institutes of Health, has awarded more than $15 million over five years to the University to support the new Chicago Center for Systems Biology.
Researchers will study how networks of genes work together to enable cells and organisms to respond to environmental and genetic change.
The center also represents collaboration among researchers at Chicago-area universities— University of Illinois at Chicago, Northwestern University and Chicago—fostered by the Chicago Biomedical Consortium, with support from The Searle Funds at The Chicago Community Trust. The consortium will provide an additional $3 million over three years to the new initiative.
One of 10 National Centers for Systems Biology and the only such center in Illinois, the Chicago Center for Systems Biology will combine experimental and computational tools to study the dynamic behavior of gene networks in cells, tissues and organisms.
A focus on the connections between multiple levels of biological organization—from networks of molecules to whole organisms—distinguishes the emerging field of systems biology.
