It investigates how molecules, cells, and tissues interact, using inclusive Team-Science and Art-Science approaches to generate mechanistic insights for biomedical research and science training. The work aims to advance understanding in biomedicine and support the education of researchers. As a relatively small to mid-sized entity, it functions as an umbrella that coordinates activity across USC’s departments and schools. The institute serves as a platform that unites projects across science, engineering, medicine, and the arts, leveraging the strengths of USC units to encourage convergence and collaboration. This coordinating role supports researchers at USC as they pursue interdisciplinary work and develop collaborative practices.
