<p class=MsoNormal>Our laboratory studies the dynamics of gene circuits at the
single-cell level. I will discuss recent work in bacteria, yeast, and mammalian
cells that is beginning to reveal new and unexpected ways that cellular
signal transduction systems encode information, and the functional role that
such encoding schemes play in regulatory and developmental circuits.<o:p></o:p></p>
