Understanding Biological Complexity*
Abstract
*Formerly Applying Biological Complexity at Scale Biological systems operate over an enormous range of spatial, physical, and temporal scales and span individual cells to multi-organism systems. This project seeks to enhance the understanding of the basic processes associated with biological network interactions, communication, and control to enable novel approaches and technology development to enhance national security. Applications range from infectious disease mitigation or prevention, to predicting and leveraging biological systems for managing communities of microorganisms. Key advances expected from this research will include the identification of approaches to create stable, predictable, and dynamic control mechanisms of biological networks. Such information will allow the determination of a biosystem's state and enable the prediction of state.
