JOSHUA SHAEVITZ, PRINCETON UNIVERSITY
Research in the Shaevitz Lab focuses on three key questions in biophysics: 1. How are behaviors organized by the brain? 2. What determines cell shape? 3. How do cells form complex patterns?

MICHAEL RUST, UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO
The Rust lab wants to understand how the behavior of living cells is produced by the biochemical interactions of many non-living molecules. They believe that a quantitative theory of how cells work will lead us to better treatments for disease and ultimately the ability to reprogram cells.

Move Over, Mice: How Integration of Systems Biology with Organs-on-Chips May Humanize Therapeutic Development
Frontiers in Interdisciplinary Biosciences Seminar
“Mice are not little people” – a refrain becoming louder as the strengths and weaknesses of animal models of human disease become more apparent. At the same time, three emerging approaches are headed toward integration: powerful systems biology analysis of cell-cell and intracellular signaling networks in patient-derived samples; 3D tissue engineered models of human organ systems, often made from stem cells; and micro-fluidic and meso-fluidic devices that enable living systems to be sustained, perturbed and analyzed for weeks in culture. This talk will highlight the integration of these rapidly moving fields to understand difficult clinical problems, with an emphasis on translating academic discoveries into practical, widespread use.
