Guiding this research is one central idea: biological systems, from single cells to a complex organism, display amazing dynamic and adaptive mechanical properties. Over the next five years, this program will pursue this concept in two synergistic themes based on how the interface of biology and engineering will shape science in this century: 1) Mechanobiology: understanding how cells generate and respond to physical forces particularly in the context of disease, with an emphasis on technology development, and 2) Active Biomaterials: engineering synthetic biology and new materials that capture the self-assembly and dynamic mechanics of biological systems.

指导这项研究是一个核心思想：从单个细胞到复杂的生物体，生物系统表现出惊人的动态和适应性机械性能。在接下来的五年中，该计划将根据生物学和工程的界面如何在本世纪塑造科学的方式如何在两个协同主题中追求这一概念：1）机械生物学：理解细胞如何在疾病中尤其是在疾病的背景下产生和反应物理力，重点是技术发展，以及2）活跃的生物材料：工程生物材料的生物学和新材料，以捕获生物学和新材料。
