International Summer School on Biocomplexity from Gene to System Summer School Istanbul, Turkey on July 1-7, 2012 and 2013.

自从新兴的计算和数学工具促进了对大量生物数据的收集和分析，生物科学已经变得更加定量和信息驱动的科学。生物系统的复杂性分析利用先进的计算工具，为生物数据的组织、管理和挖掘提供了生物学知识。生物数据本质上是复杂的和非均匀的，并且在多个时间和空间尺度上收集。对复杂生物系统和过程的研究需要生物学家、数学家、计算机科学家和工程学之间的广泛合作，以提高我们对从基因到系统的复杂生物过程的理解。智力优势：这些暑期班的主要目标是让本科生和研究生接触到健康信息学、再生医学、个性化医学等相对较新的方法。这个暑期班也将对有兴趣从事生物学、生物分子工程和生物工程研究的计算机科学和数学专业的学生有所帮助，因为暑期班提供了对生物科学基本挑战的特殊见解。广泛的影响：暑期班使用由专家教师面向生物科学学生的讲座，并将重点放在健康信息学、再生医学和个性化医学上。除了这些讲座，暑期班还将安排两个两小时的小组讨论，本科生和研究生积极参与，重点是工程更好的药物和世界生物医学工程研究和教育的进展。暑期班将促进工程师、数学家、计算机科学家和医学研究人员之间进一步的跨学科研究和合作，并将有助于在复杂的生物科学和生物工程研究中确定新的、具有挑战性的方向。

Abstract1207466, AkayThe biological sciences have become more quantitative and information-driven science since emerging computational and mathematical tools facilitate collection and analysis of vast amounts of biological data. Complexity analysis of biological systems provides biological knowledge for the organization, management and mining of biological data by using advanced computational tools. The biological data are inherently complex and non-uniform and collected at multiple temporal and spatial scales. The investigations of complex biological systems and processes require an extensive collaboration between biologists, mathematicians, computer scientists and engineering to improve our understanding of complex biological process from gene to system.Intellectual Merits: The main objective of these summer schools is to expose undergraduate and graduate biological science and bioengineering students to the relatively new approaches of Health Informatics, Regenerative Medicine, Personalized Medicine. This summer school will be helpful, also, to students in computer science and mathematics who are interested in pursuing research in biology, bio-molecular engineering and bioengineering, since the summer school provides exceptional insights into the fundamental challenges in biological sciences.Broader Imapcts: The summer school uses lectures, oriented toward biological science students, by expert faculty and will focus on the Health Informatics, Regenerative Medicine, Personalized Medicine. In addition to these lectures, the summer school will employ 2 two-hour panel discussion, with active participation of undergraduate and graduate students, focused on Engineering Better Medicines and Advances in Biomedical Engineering Research and Education in the World. The summer school will stimulate further interdisciplinary research and collaborations among engineers, mathematicians, computer scientists, and medical researchers, and will help in identifying new, challenging directions in complex biological science and bioengineering research.
