<u>Title:</u> <b><i><span style='font-weight:bold;font-style:italic'>Innovation
in Biology: the Evolution and Engineering of New Cellular Behaviors</span></i></b><br>
<u>Abstract:</u> Eukaryotic cells display an extremely diverse range of signaling
behaviors. Remarkably, these diverse responses are, for the most part,
regulated by a common, limited toolkit of molecular components. What is
the origin of the evolutionary plasticity of these signaling systems, and how
do new and diverse behaviors arise? We are investigating the modular
design principles of cell signaling systems, and how these principles can be
exploited by evolution, pathogens, and engineers to reprogram cellular
behavior.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
