Determining physical principles of subcellular organization.
Recent advances have transformed our understanding of cell biology, but we are still unable to predict the behaviors of these systems. One difficulty is that we lack an understanding of the physical principles of subcellular organization. Combining quantitative experiments with new theoretical insights may allow such principles to be developed.
