Dan Siegal-Gaskins’s Summary

I am currently a Postodoctoral Fellow in the Mathematical Biosciences Institute and in the Grotewold Lab (within the Department of Plant Cellular and Molecular Biology) at the Ohio State University. My general research interests lie in the interdisciplinary field of Systems Biology; in using tools from the physical sciences--physics, engineering, mathematics, and computer science--to probe living systems and attempt to understand biological function.
