DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this proposal is to develop a Core Center in Quantitative Biology at Oakland University. To strengthen this Core Center, a new faculty member will be recruited to perform interdisciplinary and translational research. This Core Center will build on existing strengths at Oakland University, including the recently established Engineering Biology undergraduate major, plans for a PhD program in Quantitative Biology, and the new Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine. The focus on Quantitative Biology for the proposed Core Center was selected to take advantage of existing strengths at Oakland University. A nucleus of superb faculty are actively working in mathematical biology, bioengineering, and numerical modeling. Many of the faculty are members of the Center for Biomedical Research, publish extensively, and are externally funded. They represent an outstanding collection of biomedical researchers, often in their early years at OU, which the Core Center will help unify and support. The Core Center will be administered by the Oakland University Center for Biomedical Research (CBR). The current director of the CBR is also the PI for this proposal and is therefore in an ideal position to supervise and administer this effort. A university-wide search committee will be established to select the new faculty member. Highest priority will be given to applicants who can serve as bridges between existing research programs. In addition, applicants are sought who can perform translational research that will strengthen the new medical school. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE (provided by applicant): Science is becoming more and more interdisciplinary, and our proposed Core Center is inherently interdisciplinary. Furthermore, biology is becoming increasingly quantitative, with fields such as "system biology" and "bioinformatics" growing at a rapid rate. This Core Center will catalyze such a change in the very methods used to study biological systems.

描述(由申请者提供)：该提案的目标是在奥克兰大学建立一个数量生物学核心中心。为了加强这个核心中心，将招聘一名新的教员进行跨学科和翻译研究。这个核心中心将建立在奥克兰大学现有优势的基础上，包括最近设立的工程生物学本科专业，定量生物学博士项目的计划，以及新的奥克兰大学威廉·博蒙特医学院。 拟建的核心中心的重点是数量生物学，以利用奥克兰大学现有的优势。一批优秀的教师正在积极从事数学生物学、生物工程和数值建模方面的工作。许多教员是生物医学研究中心的成员，出版广泛，并由外部资助。他们代表了一批杰出的生物医学研究人员，通常是在OU的早年，核心中心将帮助他们统一和支持。 核心中心将由奥克兰大学生物医学研究中心(CBR)管理。CBR的现任主任也是这项提议的PI，因此，他是监督和管理这一努力的理想人选。将成立一个全大学范围的遴选委员会来挑选新的教职员工。能够在现有研究项目之间架起桥梁的申请者将被优先考虑。此外，正在寻找能够进行转化性研究的申请者，以加强新医学院的实力。 公共卫生相关性(由申请者提供)：科学正在变得越来越跨学科，我们提议的核心中心本质上是跨学科的。此外，随着“系统生物学”和“生物信息学”等领域的快速发展，生物学正变得越来越量化。这个核心中心将推动用来研究生物系统的方法发生这样的变化。
