The study of biological 'design principles' has broad applications in science, medicine and biotechnology.  Publications/Creative Works Click here to search for this faculty member's publications on PubMed.  Affiliations  Training Grants NeuroEngineering IGERT  Research Consortia Gulf Coast Cluster for Single Cell Omics  Appointments Title Department / School Institution Associate Professor Bioengineering Rice University
