White Paper: Pop-Up Institute: Seeing the tree and the forest: Understanding the causes and consequences of individual and population variation in biology, medicine, and society
Abstract
The Pop-Up Institute "Seeing the Tree and the Forest: Understanding Individual and Population Variation in Biology, Medicine, and Society" brought together researchers from UT Austin’s College of Natural Sciences, College of Liberal Arts, and Dell Medical School to identify the most promising questions about individual and population variation, establish a unique and comprehensive research plan, and develop solutions to shared problems that limit progress (e.g., Big Data analysis). By aligning similar research efforts across disciplines, this Institute aimed to establish a lasting framework for novel collaborations to conduct transformative research with real-world, positive outcomes for humans and society.
