Graduate Program: Interdisciplinary Units: Biotechnology and Genomics

The Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics is a new initiative in life sciences at Princeton, with a mandate to develop novel approaches to the study of biology in a post-genomic era. The Institute comprises a multi-disciplinary group of scientists and students working at the forefront of biology, to extract from the enormous amount of genomic data an understanding of how biological systems organize and integrate complex processes. Institute faculty are drawn not only from Molecular Biology, but also from Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Electrical Engineering, and Chemical Engineering. To accomplish the ambitious goals of this endeavor, the members of the Institute are assembled in the newly-constructed Carl Icahn Laboratory.
