Systems Biology Lunch Meetings
The Center for Systems and Synthetic Biology at The University of Texas at Austin represents an amalgam of researchers who are attempting to not only quantitatively understand and engineer the interaction and regulatory networks underlying organismal metabolism, but also to foster a new way to carry out interdisciplinary research.
Undergraduates participate heavily in the research endeavors in the various labs involved in the CSSB, and graduate students frequently interact with several advisors on large, collaborative projects during their careers, in order to garner a range of skills and insights.
Senior researchers, such as postdoctoral fellows, lead research teams that can take responsibility for large tasks, such as characterizing deletion libraries or developing reagents that can fully probe interaction networks.
The research endeavors being carried out under the auspices of the CSSB are the antithesis of the top-down, single lab, flat organizational models that traditionally dominate discipline driven research.
