Please join us to learn more about the complexity/design of various biological systems (proteins, molecular machines, etc.) and their structure-function relationships. Many challenges presented by biological complexity cannot be met by using traditional biological approaches, instead, new methods and interdisciplinary research is required to address many difficult questions.
