International Summer School on Biocomplexity from Gene to System, Istanbul, Turkey on July 1-7, 2011

1110876，Akay生物科学已经成为更加定量和信息驱动的科学，因为新兴的计算和数学工具促进了大量生物数据的收集和分析。生物系统的复杂性分析通过使用先进的计算工具为生物数据的组织、管理和挖掘提供生物学知识。生物数据本身就很复杂和不统一，而且是在多个时间和空间尺度上收集的。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师之间的广泛合作，以提高我们对从基因到系统的复杂生物过程的理解。这个暑期学校的主要目标是培养本科生，研究生生物科学的学生和博士后研究员在Bionano科学，工程和技术（BNSET）。生物学的系统级理解将使用数学和工程方法来理解复杂的生物过程。它将使具有生物学背景的与会者了解最新的技术发展。这也将有助于在计算机科学和数学的学生谁有兴趣在BNSET做研究，因为暑期学校提供了对科学，医学和工程的基本挑战的特殊见解。暑期学校是优秀的学习，教学和头脑风暴的机会为学生，博士后和年轻的研究人员以及暑期学校的教师。 暑期学校将促进工程师，数学家，计算机科学家和医学研究人员之间的进一步跨学科研究和合作，并将有助于确定复杂生物科学和生物工程研究中具有挑战性的新方向，重点是生物科学，工程和技术。该项目将资助10人（7名研究生和3名博士后研究员）参加将于2011年7月1日至7日在土耳其伊斯坦布尔举行的第10届生物复杂性国际暑期学校（从系统到基因）;这些学生和教师将与来自土耳其和其他国家的参与者进行互动。

1110876, 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. The main objective of this summer school is to train undergraduate, graduate biological science students and post-doctoral fellows in Bionano Science, Engineering and Technology (BNSET). The system level understanding of biology will be derived using mathematical and engineering methods to understand complex biological processes. It will expose the attendees with biology background to the latest technological developments. It will also be helpful to students in computer science and mathematics who are interested in doing research in BNSET, since the summer school provides exceptional insights into the fundamental challenges in science, medicine and engineering.The summer schools are excellent learning, teaching and brain storming opportunitiesfor students, post-docs and young researchers as well as the summer school faculty. 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 with focus on bionano science, engineering and technology. This project will support the travel of 10 people (7 graduate students and 3 post-doctoral fellows) the 10th International Summer School on Biocomplexity from System to Gene to be held in Istanbul, Turkey on July 1-7, 2011; these students and faculty will interact with the participants from Turkey and other countries.
