Promoting Systems Biology and Facilitating Collaboration

The Center’s visiting investigator program enables the continued growth of systems biology research within the Center, and aims to attract and sustain investigators in this emerging discipline. Both visiting and Center investigators are provided with access to new perspectives and areas of expertise critical to the systems approach.

Most visits are arranged through faculty contacts or via recommendations from the Center’s Advisory Board. Investigators from other National Centers for Systems Biology are especially welcome.
