Project Vision: "Life science is in a dynamic transition from a descriptive and reductionist discipline to a fundamentally predictive science. This revolution has been fueled in part by the availability of genome sequences, and in part by the growing application of cutting-edge technology to basic biological problems. The future seems very likely to bring about a functional understanding of myriad complex biological outcomes, with the resultant ability to predict and correct imbalances that affect heath and the environment. Can there be a more exciting and stimulating time to enter this discipline? In order to achieve the challenging goals that lie ahead, it is essential that rapid progress be made at the interface between basic life sciences research and novel emerging technology including information technology, nanotechnology, and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)." |
