Engineering Complex Systems
Abstract
Engineering Complex Systems will pursue new approaches to engineer complex, multi-cellular systems for enhanced capabilities and function. Complex biological materials and systems have unique properties (e.g., controlled porosity and high strength-to-weight ratios) not only because of the inherent components but also because of how those components are assembled together across length scales. Engineering biology tools and techniques are now at a stage to pursue the organization and function of multi-cellular systems for a new class of improved capabilities. This program will develop underlying technological platforms to enable information driven assembly of hierarchical multi-cellular systems for the development of advanced materials.
