Temporal organization of the budding yeast cell cycle has been studied from two vantage points: bottom-up models emphasize a protein regulatory network centered around cyclin-dependent protein kinases, whereas top-down models focus on a gene regulatory network governed by interrelated transcription factors. The first project is focused on unifying these two perspectives. The second project is focused on the development of stochastic models of the regulatory network controlling the cell cycle. Both projects are performed in close collaboration with experts in computer science, data mining, bioinformatics, and mathematical modeling. The successful candidate will be expected to contribute significantly to these two projects by being responsible for designing and performing experiments used to validate model predictions. These experiments will involve the development of a new collection of cell cycle mutants and their quantitative characterization by time-lapse microscopy.
