| 简介 |
The scientific questions explored in the department span a wide range that include as diverse topics as Biochemistry and Biophysics, Genetics and Genomics; Development and Cell Biology, Immunology and Molecular Evolution as well as Neurobiology and Structural Biology. Each individual laboratory benefits greatly from close interactions and collaborations with colleagues working next door on related questions in sometimes surprisingly different fields. It is this cross-disciplinarity, coupled to an atmosphere filled with genuine enthusiasm and a deep-rooted passion for scientific discovery that makes MCB such an exciting place to do research in and to explore the many unsolved questions in biology. An additional benefit of working here at the Biolabs is the close proximity to our sister departments of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, Chemistry and Chemical Biology, Physics, The Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences and Psychology. Many collaborative projects between laboratories at MCB and these departments provide a compelling demonstration that the interaction of scientists in distinctly different areas of expertise can result in groundbreaking new discoveries that wouldn't be possible in a scientific monoculture. |
