Frequently asked questions and other useful information.

IGMM building skyline

Interdisciplinarity and innovation lies at the heart of the University.

Cross-disciplinary research environment

Systems biology must be embedded in a cross-disciplinary environment with biologists, chemists, computer scientists, engineers, mathematicians, physicists, and physicians. Our fundamental mantra is that leading-edge systems biology should drive the development of relevant technologies, and these, in turn, should push the creation of the necessary computational tools for handling the relevant data (often big data). These approaches have transformed our understanding of biological complexity.
