CORE D: DISSEMINATION

圣地亚哥系统生物学中心的一个主要目标是为系统生物学的发展做出实质性贡献，并在地方，国家和国际层面上塑造系统生物学的实践。联合国的使命 传播和研究培训核心是 扩大中心在解决概念和技术挑战方面的进步的影响 在地方，区域，国家和国际层面发展系统生物学社区。 确保当前领导者在应对系统生物学挑战方面的持续培训， 这里描述的许多活动都建立在为圣地亚哥系统生物学联盟运行编程的经验之上。SDCSB（http：www.sdcsb.org）由Kiger和Chanda博士于2004年成立，作为UCSD生物科学部和诺华研究基金会（GNF）基因组学研究所之间的基层合作努力，以促进圣地亚哥科学界发展系统生物学网络。它已经发展到涵盖圣地亚哥/托里松树地区的所有主要研究机构，并得到当地生物技术和制药行业的大力参与和财政支持。这一基层倡议成功地将当地科学家跨越机构和学科界限聚集在一起，分享围绕系统生物学的想法、专业知识和资源。具体而言，SDCSB主办了4次年度“系统到综合”研讨会和9次关于各种主题的研讨会。领导工作主要由Kiger、Chanda和Hoffmann博士提供。然而，保持这种参与水平需要机构支持，特别是组织上的财政支持可以继续来自当地生物技术公司的赞助。因此，将该联盟纳入新的系统生物学中心符合该地区系统社区的广泛利益。

A major goal of the San Diego Center for Systems Biology is to substantively contribute to the development of, and shape the practice of Systems Biology at the local, national and international level. The mission of the Dissemination and Research Training Core is ¿ to broaden the impact of the Center¿s advances in addressing conceptual and technological challenges ¿ to develop to Systems Biology community at local, regional, national and international levels. ¿ to ensure ongoing training of current leaders in meeting the challenges of Systems Biology, Many of the activities described here build on the experience of running programming for the San Diego Consortium for Systems Biology. The SDCSB (http://www.sdcsb.org) was established in 2004 by Drs. Kiger and Chanda as a grass-roots collaborative effort between the Division of Biological Sciences at UCSD and The Genomics Institute of the Novartis Research Foundation (GNF), to spark the development of a network to advance Systems Biology in the San Diego scientific community. It has grown to encompass all major research institutes in the San Diego/Torrey Pines area, with significant participation and financial support from the local biotech and pharmaceutical industry. This grass roots initiative has been successful at bringing together local scientists across institutional and disciplinary boundaries to share ideas, expertise and resources around Systems Biology. Specifically SDCSB has hosted 4 annual ¿Systems-to-Synthesis¿ Symposia, and 9 workshops on a variety of topics. Leadership has largely been provided by Drs. Kiger, Chanda and Hoffmann. However, maintaining this level of engagement requires institutional support, particularly organizationally ¿ financial support can continue come from sponsorship by local Biotech. Subsuming the ¿Consortium¿ into the new ¿Center¿ for Systems Biology is therefore in the broad interest of the area¿s Systems community.
