Pathways, Network and Systems International Conference in Porto Heli, Greece, 24-29 June 2007.

该奖项为参加2007年6月24日至29日在希腊波尔图赫里举行的第五届途径、网络和系统国际会议的学生、年轻教师，特别是来自美国院校的代表性不足群体的成员的旅行提供部分支持。会议独特地将复杂多层次系统的实验研究与严格的计算、生物信息学、统计和分析方法相结合。重点是哺乳动物系统，但其他物种的突破性发现也包括在内，因为它们导致了新的策略、范式、分析方法和表型方法。出席人数限制在100人以下，以促进直接和个人的互动。会议是正式和长（45分钟）平台演讲的平衡组合，有充足的时间进行非正式讨论。以往会议的反馈非常好。虽然还有其他基因组学、计算和系统生物学会议，但没有一个会议能如此无缝或有效地整合计算和实验方法。

This award provides partial support for travels of students, young faculty, and especially members of underrepresented groups from the US institutions, to attend the 5th Pathways, Networks and Systems International Conference in Porto Heli, Greece, 24-29 June 2007. The conference uniquely blends experimental studies of complex multilevel systems with rigorous computational, bioinformatics, statistical and analytical approaches. Emphasis is on mammalian systems, but breakthrough discoveries in other species are included where they lead to new strategies, paradigms, analytical methods, and phenotyping methods. Attendance is limited to less than 100 to promote direct and personal interactions. The conference is a balanced mix of formal and long (45 min) platform presentations with ample time for informal discussions. Feedback from previous conferences has been exceptional. Although there are other genomics, computational and systems biology conferences, none integrate computational and experimental approaches so seamlessly or effectively.
