UCIrvine Center for Complex Biological Systems

Fueled by explosive advances in the technology for collecting quantitative, comprehensive data, biologists and biomedical scientists have become engaged in a search for new, more systematic ways to organize and understand the living world. Engineers, mathematicians, computer scientists, physicists and chemists have come together with traditional biologists to forge a new field, Systems Biology, in which life is viewed from the perspectives of complex systems, networks, devices and design principles.

	Winners of 2008-2009 GK-12 Program at the MSP School of Biological Science Announced
	June 9, 2008
	Congratulations to Kandarp Shah and Lamar Blackwell, who have been selected to be supported by the 2008-2009 GK-12 Program at the MSP School of Biological Science. This initiative is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and its goal is to bring innovation to graduate and K-12 education by integrating investigation and experimentation conducted by UCI faculty and graduate students with teaching of Biology/Life Sciences in grades 7th-12th at partner schools in Santa Ana, Montebello and Westside of Newport-Mesa Unified School Districts. Participating graduate students (GK-12 fellows) will improve communication, teaching and team-building skills as they act as partners and mentors to support and serve as resources for teachers to enrich learning for K-12 students in minority-serving schools.

	June 10, 2008 Visiting Scholars/Researchers Program in Systems Biology at UC Irvine
	The University of California, Irvine has initiated a Visiting Scholars/Researchers Program in Systems Biology to begin in 2008. This new program is made possible by the recent major award of support for an NIH- NIGMS P50 National Center for Systems Biology focusing on how biological systems in model organisms process spatial information during development, intracellular signaling, and cell proliferation.
