Computational systems biology is a groundbreaking research area that seeks to use tools from engineering systems theory to understand the holistic functioning of a complex biological system. Translation of such knowledge into medicine is revolutionizing and will continue to revolutionize disease diagnosis and prognosis, medical therapy, disease prevention, drug discovery, and drug design. The objective of this project is to seek student travel support from NSF for the IEEE Workshop on Genomic Signal Processing and Statistics, or GENSIPS, a workshop sponsored annually by the IEEE Signal Processing Society.Intellectual meritOur goals for GENSIPS13 are: 1) to address the systems biology issues in the emerging "omics" fields of genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics, especially the next-generation sequencing technologies (which facilitate parallel and much faster sequencing of DNA or RNA); and 2) to significantly increase the participation from the Signal Processing society, and the computer science, biostatistics, and biological science communities. The theme of GENSIPS13 will be next generation sequencing and systems biology applied to cancer. We will be inviting expert plenary speakers from the cancer research and genome research fields. To broaden the reach of the scientific work presented in the meeting, accepted papers will be published in the IEEE Conference Proceedings and selected ones in special issues in high profile journals. Broader Impact Another important mission of GENSIPS13 is to promote the participation of graduate students and post-doctoral researchers, especially women and minority students, and foster student education on systems biology. GENSIPS13 will provide travel awards to qualified graduate students, whose papers are deemed to be of high quality. Specifically, 20-30% of the awards will be allocated to encourage women and minority students to participate and submit papers to GENSIPS13.

计算系统生物学是一个开创性的研究领域，旨在使用工程系统理论的工具来理解复杂生物系统的整体功能。将这些知识转化为医学是一场革命，并将继续革命疾病诊断和预后，医学治疗，疾病预防，药物发现和药物设计。该项目的目标是寻求NSF对IEEE基因组信号处理和统计研讨会（GENSIPS）的学生旅行支持，GENSIPS是由IEEE信号处理学会每年赞助的研讨会。知识产权GENSIPS 13的目标是：1）解决基因组学、转录组学、蛋白质组学和代谢组学等新兴“组学”领域的系统生物学问题，特别是下一代测序技术（促进DNA或RNA的并行和更快的测序）; 2）显着增加信号处理社会，计算机科学，生物统计学和生物科学界的参与。GENSIPS 13的主题将是应用于癌症的下一代测序和系统生物学。我们将邀请来自癌症研究和基因组研究领域的专家全体演讲。为了扩大会议上提出的科学工作的范围，被接受的论文将发表在IEEE会议论文集上，并在高知名度期刊的特刊上发表精选论文。GENSIPS 13的另一项重要使命是促进研究生和博士后研究人员，特别是妇女和少数民族学生的参与，并促进学生对系统生物学的教育。GENSIPS 13将为合格的研究生提供旅行奖励，他们的论文被认为是高质量的。具体而言，20-30%的奖金将用于鼓励妇女和少数民族学生参与并向GENSIPS 13提交论文。
