中文摘要
主要研究者来自斯佩尔曼学院,是系统生物学方面的专家。系统生物学是生物学的一个领域,它认为整体大于部分的总和,对复杂和动态生物系统的真正理解需要结合和整合来自数学、物理、工程和计算机科学的基本原理。这种理解被认为是充分利用生物学的潜力来维持地球上的生命所必需的。该项目将涉及亚特兰大地区机构的学者和管理人员以及在著名研究机构担任教职的斯派曼校友。研讨会将探讨和制定一项战略,以实施一种新的教育框架,使不同的学生群体为跨学科的合作研究做好准备。研讨会的动机还在于认识到代表性不足的群体可能更自然地倾向于计算领域。因此,通过将几个为少数民族服务的机构和区域研究机构纳入其中,该讲习班产生了重大的广泛影响。在学科融合成为新标准的时代,该项目基于一种新的思维方式来培训未来的劳动力。这一方向的特点是认识到生物系统的突现特性不太可能通过还原论的方法来实现,这种方法通常揭示单个组件的细节,但对理解这些组件如何相互作用以在不断变化的条件下维持生命贡献不大。这次研讨会还代表了如何在学科交叉领域推进教育和研究培训的新模式,强调在“新生物学”学术环境中更广泛地参与代表性不足的群体。
英文摘要
The principle investigator is from Spelman College and is an expert in Systems Biology. Systems Biology is a field of biology that argues that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and that true understanding of complex and dynamic biological systems requires the incorporation and integration of fundamental principles derived from mathematics, physics, engineering and computer science. This understanding is thought to be necessary for harnessing the full potential of biology to sustain life on earth. The project will involve academics and administrators from regional Atlanta institutions and Spellman alumni who hold faculty positions at prominent research institutions. The workshop will explore and develop a strategy for implementing a novel educational framework that would prepare diverse student populations for collaborative research at the intersection of disciplines. The workshop is motivated also by the realization that underrepresented groups might gravitate more naturally toward the computational areas. As such, this workshop offers significant broader impacts through inclusion of several minority-serving institutions and regional research one institutions.This project is based on a novel way of thinking about training a future workforce in times where the convergence and integration of disciplines becomes the new standard. This direction is characterized by the recognition that emergent properties of biological systems are unlikely to be realized through reductionist approaches that generally reveal details about individual components, but contribute little toward an understanding of how these components interact to sustain live under ever-changing conditions. This workshop also represents a new model for how to advance education and research training at the intersections of disciplines, with a strong emphasis on a broader involvement of underrepresented groups in the "new biology" academic setting.
