$12.9 million in funding backs Center for Theoretical Biological Physics research

The Rice University-based Center for Theoretical Biological Physics (CTBP) has won a five-year extension from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to pursue its investigation of mysteries at the intersection of biology and physics.

The grant for $12.9 million will allow the long-running center to continue sophisticated computational analysis, often combined with experimental efforts, to show how interactions at the atomic scale relate to the behavior of cells.
