"This grant provides crucial support to ISB as we continue to push the
limits of science in order to make new discoveries about biology and the human
body , and ultimately find new ways to fight diseases," said Leroy Hood,
Institute for Systems Biology 's president and co-founder.
The Institute launched an initiative in 2002 to create Centers of Excellence
in Complex Biomedical Systems Research. Entries
are judged at the regional level by esteemed scientists and faculty at six
leading research universities: Carnegie Mellon University; University of Notre
Dame; University of California, Berkeley; Massachusetts Institute of
Technology; Georgia Institute of Technology; and The University of Texas at
Austin.
The Siemens Westinghouse Competition attracts entries from high school
science and math students throughout the country.
