Dr. Gürol Süel, assistant professor of pharmacology, was among the investigators who discovered that biochemical "noise" is beneficial, helping cells transform from one state to another. His research suggests that rather than being bad for biology, cellular noise might have an important function, such as prompting stem cells to transform into a specific tissue type.
