When units of biological material are put together ... when magnified through levels of complexity. For instance, when a disturbance such as a genetic mutation is introduced in any level, it ...

A very widespread form of cooperativity in biological systems involves the assembly of weakly binding components into stable multimolecular complexes. If two molecules form a complex that contains ...

Biological complexity is often masked by bulk sequencing and microarray techniques, which provide an average snapshot of how cells work. In contrast, single-cell sequencing technology allows ...

Research in the Department of Biological Sciences examines levels of biological complexity from molecules to populations, with three areas of focus in molecular biology of gene expression, signal ...

The simplest explanation is that genes and genetic variants work together in complex regulatory networks that help define ... networks for exploring subtle but important relationships in biological ...

We investigate emergent behavior in complex biological systems, including natural and therapeutically engineered immune functions. We also build synthetic biology technologies enabling the composition ...

"In contrast, our model aims to explain the behavior of an existing, complex biological system. "If you manage to construct a model whose behavior matches everything that's known about the system ...

Northwestern chemical and biological engineers - trained and grounded in quantitative physical, biological and computational sciences - will make discoveries and innovate new approaches and drive the ...
