15E08 Intracellular Processes I
OverviewThe application of engineering principles to biological systems has promoted a quantitative understanding of cellular function. This session seeks submissions that utilize either experimental methods or computational modeling to analyze intracellular processes. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, binding and molecular interactions, signal transduction, intracellular trafficking, cytoskeletal dynamics, gene expression, and metabolism.
