Interfaces in Science
The biological sciences are changing. Advances in genomics, quantitative
structural biology, modeling of complex systems, and nanotechnology
have opened up new realms of research for ambitious investigators
with backgrounds in physics, mathematics, computer science, and
engineering who want to explore the new frontier of biology. The
promise of an exciting research career at this scientific interface
has never been greater.
In recognition of the vital role such cross-trained scientists
will play in furthering biomedical science, the Burroughs Wellcome
Fund has made a major investment in the training (through our Institutional
Awards at the Scientific Interface program) and support of young
investigators (through our Career Awards at the Scientific Interface
program) with backgrounds in the physical, chemical, or computational
sciences whose work addresses biological questions and who are dedicated
to pursuing a career in academic research.
