YIN Transdisciplinary Clusters

Research topics differ widely over various disciplines. Yet, there are similar challenges when it comes to the techniques and methods used. Microscopy, the homogenization of data or computational modeling are a few examples. Transdisciplinary clusters combine expertise from different research areas and create a larger pool of knowledge wherefrom new ideas and solutions may spring. Also scientists with dissimilar academic backgrounds might complement each other and discover previously unknown territories.

YIN-members tackling challenges that might be interesting or slightly familiar to others as well can launch new clusters. They are very welcome to contact the Committee for Transdisciplinarity for advice on finding like-minded scientists or funding. So far computation, solid bodies and cell populations have proven to be of concern to YIN-members from different disciplines:
