Description

 

The Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences (MCB) is soliciting proposals in four core clusters: 1. Cellular Dynamics and Function; 2. Genetic Mechanisms; 3. Molecular Biophysics; 4. Systems and Synthetic Biology. MCB gives high priority to research projects that use theory, methods, and technologies from life and physical sciences, mathematics, computational sciences, and engineering to address major biological questions that elucidate the rules governing subcellular and cellular processes. Research supported by MCB uses a range of experimental and computational approaches--including in vivo, in vitro, and in silico strategies--and a broad spectrum of model and non-model organisms, including microbes and plants. Projects are particularly welcome that address the emerging areas of: multi-scale integration; transformative methods and resources (when driven by compelling biological questions); molecular and cellular evolution; the synthesis of life-like systems; and the quantitative prediction of the phenome from genomic information.
