“Some of our new group leaders will seek to understand how diverse cells come together to create the unique structures and functions of our different organs. Other new group leaders will tackle how the nervous system mediates long-range communication between organ systems, and between the body and brain. While everyone will have their own research direction, we hope to create a unique intellectual environment where scientists can think about the grand problems facing biology and collaborate in new ways to tackle them, not just within 4DCP but throughout Janelia.”
