Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory
The Center for Biodiversity Outcomes brings together individuals and groups — from academic, nonprofit, policy and corporate sectors — to achieve common goals of biodiversity conservation and sustainable management of natural resources in the 21st century.
The center is poised to become a major international incubator of solution-driven transdisciplinary research, brings together scholars from one of the country's most innovative research universities with experts from SFI’s worldwide community.
The Biodiversity Knowledge Integration Center seeks new solutions to three topics: generating comparative knowledge of life's diversity; promoting the use of integrative informatics tools; and fostering direct and virtual learning experiences with biodiversity data and specimens.
The Center for Bioarchaeological Research (CBR) strives to understand past peoples by examining their health, heritages, identities, ideologies, diets and patterns of mobility.
The Center for Bioenergy and Photosynthesis carries out frontier multidisciplinary scientific research designed to use biological and biologically-based artificial systems to address societal energy needs in a sustainable manner. The center places an emphasis on solar energy conversion and bioinspired energy transformation to meet human needs, and investigates other aspects of photosynthesis that affect society and the environment.
The Center for Biological Physics (CBP) conducts research into biological phenomena using the tools and methods of physics. Key interests span biomolecules, systems biology and cellular dynamics.
The Center for Biology and Society promotes research, education and engagement related to study of the life sciences and their interconnections with society.
Researchers in the center address cell-to-cell variations in physiological parameters by conducting studies to quantify cellular activities such as respiration and gene expression at the single-cell level.
