4D Cellular Physiology (4DCP) seeks to unravel life’s greatest mystery: how thousands to trillions of cells self-organize, communicate, and cooperate to form organs and a wide variety of organisms capable of adapting to ever-changing environments.
By bridging the gap between systems-level phenomena studied by physiologists and cellular processes scrutinized by cell biologists, the 4D Cellular Physiology (4DCP) research area aims to bring physiology within reach of mechanistic cell biology.
