Biological systems are robust to change from a number of sources including fluctuating environments, stochastic cellular functions, and mutations in cellular components.  My current research explores how evolution has organized biological networks  to provide robustness to change (both in an organism's environment and over evolutionary timescales), and how we can rewire existing networks to be more or less robust to perturbation.  Future goals include understanding how network architecture constrains or promotes future adaptation, understanding robustness in disease and development, and using these "design principles" plus synthetic tools to engineer systems-level behavior in complex networks.
