These frontiers are being explored in many departments and programs at UCLA, one of the pioneers and leaders in this area. Thus, we have adopted the inclusive terminology, "systems and integrative biology", to describe our seminar series. Disciplines on the methodological side include mathematics, computer science, statistics, informatics, imaging, physics, and engineering. On the biological side, one finds research at molecular, genetic, tissue/cellular, physiological, ecological, evolutionary, medical, pharmacological, and epidemiological levels. This quarter and next, we are seeking to provide seminars that cover a wide variety of these areas. <p> The seminars, in the traditional mode, are presentations of individual research projects by UCLA and visiting faculty. This year we are adding a student-oriented Post-Seminar Discussion following each seminar. The person who has presented the seminar will briefly describe a number of different research initiatives in areas related to that of the seminar topic and then respond to questions related to such research, its pursuit by others at UCLA and elsewhere, and educational/employment opportunities. <p><a href="sem2006fall.pdf">PDF</a> version</p> </BODY>
