Mission

FfAME provides an innovative environment to host the scientific and technological research of a small group of selected computational, molecular and life scientists, who can combine physical and organic chemistry, molecular and structural biology, systems biology, cell biology, organismic biology, ecology, evolutionary biology, paleontology, geology, astrobiology and planetary science to create a vertically integrated science for the current century with the opportunity to transfer technology from basic research to meet opportunities in commerce and medicine.

Rationale

The departmental divisions of the American research university were estabilished a century ago
Many of the most important problems in science cross these historical departmental divisions
This classical division of knowledge is not the most productive way to support science and technology in the new century
