The 2017 international conference on systems biology; Virginia Tech; August 6-12, 2017

该奖项将为2017年8月6日至12日在弗吉尼亚州布莱克斯堡弗吉尼亚理工大学的Squires学生中心举行的2017年系统生物学国际会议（ICSB）提供支持。本次大会将举行3场主题演讲（1小时）、20场全体会议（30分钟）、24场平行会议（每场4场20分钟的专题演讲）和2场海报会议。会议旨在促进系统和合成生物学领域令人兴奋的跨学科研究，同时也支持系统生物学教育和该领域年轻研究人员的发展。预计未来的与会者将来自广泛的学科和职业阶段。研究讲座将由该领域的知名专家和年轻研究人员进行。ICSB 2017将为年轻和早期职业科学家提供职业发展机会，并为相关领域的学生和研究人员提供一个论坛，讨论如何最好地克服当前的挑战。在系统生物学教育中。生物科学目前正经历着从还原论范式到综合“系统”范式的历史性转变。在过去的二十年中，复杂分子调控系统的计算和数学建模在这一转变中发挥了关键作用。今天，强调和鼓励结合硅和体内实验的跨学科合作。然而，系统生物学的快速发展提出了巨大的挑战，将实验家和建模者聚集在一起，以克服传统学科之间的障碍。为了促进这一转变，培养新一代跨学科研究人员是至关重要的，他们有能力将实验和理论方法结合起来研究生物系统。本次会议将为实验学家和理论家之间交流思想和促进合作创造一个平台，并为本科生和研究生、博士后和年轻研究人员提供一个难得的机会，与该领域的顶尖科学家互动和学习。ICSB 2017还将通过选择最佳摘要在平行会议上进行口头陈述，并通过突出展示每个人的海报会议，最大限度地提高有才华的年轻研究人员的知名度。年代的研究。该项目由分子和细胞生物科学部的系统和合成生物学项目资助。

This award will provide support for The 2017 International Conference on Systems Biology (ICSB) to be held August 6-12, 2017 at the Squires Student Center in Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Virginia. This conference will host three keynote talks (one hour), twenty plenary talks (30 minutes), 24 parallel sessions (each with four 20 minutes contributed talks) and two poster sessions. The conference is designed to stimulate exciting interdisciplinary research in systems and synthetic biology, while also supporting systems biology education and the development of young researchers in the field. The prospective attendees are expected to come from a broad spectrum of disciplines and career stages. Research talks will be given by both established experts in the field and young researchers alike. ICSB 2017 will provide career-building opportunities for young and early-career scientists, as well as a forum for students and researchers in related fields to consider how best to overcome current challenges.in systems biology education. Biological sciences are currently undergoing a historic transition from a reductionist paradigm to an integrative "systems" paradigm. For the past two decades, computational and mathematical modeling of complex molecular regulatory systems have played pivotal roles in this transition. Today, interdisciplinary collaborations that combine both in silico and in vivo experiments are emphasized and encouraged. However, the rapid growth of systems biology presents great challenges in bringing together experimentalists and modelers to overcome the barriers separating the conventional disciplines. To facilitate this transition, it is critical to train a new generation of interdisciplinary researchers with the abilities to combine experimental and theoretical approaches to biological systems. This conference will create a platform for exchanging ideas and fostering collaborations between experimentalists and theoreticians, and provide a rare opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students, postdocs, and young researchers to interact with and learn from leading scientists in the field. ICSB 2017 will also maximize the visibility of talented young researchers by selecting the best abstracts for oral presentation in parallel sessions and by highlighting the poster sessions that showcase everyone?s research.This project is funded by the Systems and Synthetic Biology Program in the Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences.
