A New Paradigm: Quantitative Cell Biology
The Science and Technology Center for Quantitative Cell Biology is working to develop 4D (space plus time) whole-cell models and experiments to transform our understanding of how cells function, forging a new scientific understanding of the cell that will have implications for human health, photosynthesis, evolution, and beyond. This will lead to a new research discipline–quantitative cell biology–that will transform our ability to understand and predict life processes while making quantitative cell biology tools and models widely accessible.
