Cells are the functional units of life. A major goal of the life sciences is to understand whether cellular architecture and molecular organization follows any general organizing principles. The research program of the Canada Research Chair in Evolutionary Cell Biology will unify traditionally parallel and independent fields of research such as cell biology, systems biology, bioinformatics, molecular evolution and population genetics to identify these organizing principles. This unification will lead to better predictions on the outcome of mutations on cellular systems and thus help predict the effect of mutations in humans, design more powerful tools in biotechnology and elucidate how complex life forms emerge through evolution.

细胞是生命的功能单位。生命科学的主要目标是了解细胞结构和分子组织是否遵循任何一般的组织原则。加拿大进化细胞生物学研究主席的研究计划将统一传统上平行和独立的研究领域，例如细胞生物学，系统生物学，生物信息学，分子进化和人群遗传学，以识别这些组织原理。这种统一将更好地预测细胞系统突变的结果，从而有助于预测人类突变的影响，设计更强大的生物技术工具，并阐明复杂的生命形式如何通过进化而出现。
