2/28/08 The very first UCIrvine Symposium on Mathematical Systems Biology was held on February 28th and 29th, 2008. The theme was on "Spatial Dynamics of Growth and Signaling". Click here for detail information.

11/19/07 Our recent research shows for the first time how embryonic cells may regulate levels of retinoic acid, giving scientists insight into how it acts as a signal between cells to control development of the brain, limbs and many other tissues in embryos. The study appears Nov. 20 in the journal Public Library of Science Biology. Click here for UCI press release.

8/1/07 UCI awarded $14.5 million P50 grant from NIH to support systems biology center. Our reasearch group is a major participant of this program. Click here for UCI press release.
