What makes ISB unique?
Collaboration ISB’s knowledge sharing environment stands in sharp contrast to conventional research institutions where individual researchers work in isolation in pursuit of narrowly defined goals. The Institute’s approach is to focus its study on systems as a whole rather than on individual cells, genes or proteins. The comprehensive nature of this work demands integration in every aspect of the Institute’s research. At ISB a multidisciplinary group of scholars and scientists, from biologists and mathematicians to computer scientists and physicists work collaboratively to help unravel the mysteries of human immunity and disease. Together they are working to identify strategies for predicting and preventing diseases such as cancer, arthritis, AIDS and diabetes. A new way to look at data Studying complete biological systems requires an ability to analyze large quanties of data quickly and efficiently. The ISB uses high throughput data analysis to give scientists a better understanding o
