Predicting, modeling, and simulating potential therapeutic agents and their interactions with target molecules is a powerful new first step in the drug discovery process... (Read more) Cellular Systems Biology Systems biology seeks to integrate different levels of information to understand how biological systems function at multiple scales, with the goal of developing an understandable model of a whole system. This is accomplished by studying the relationships and interactions between various parts of the particular system of interest which could... (Read more) Home Increasingly complex biological problems and extremely large biological data sets have necessitated new approaches to answer many of today’s current research challenges and tackle emerging questions in biology not amenable to traditional approaches.  As one of the fields in the “New Biologies”, Computational and Systems Biology (CSB) encompasses an interdisciplinary approach that harnesses the power of computation and systems-level analyses to formulate and solve critical biological problems.  These research programs within CSB also synergize and collaborate with the extensive basic and clinical research programs at the University of Pittsburgh and across the globe.  Concomitant with our research foci, CSB is also a leader in educating and training all levels of emerging and nascent scientists, who will continue this work and identify and tackle new biological problems of the next generation. TECBio REU Pioneers Successful Virtual ProgramAmidst the uncertainty and turmoil that beleaguered the early months of 2020, the TECBio Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at the University of Pittsburgh had to make the difficult decision of whether or not to proceed with their annual summer research program. Preparations had to be made and longstanding playbooks had to be completely re-written, but it was decided that the program would continue...
