Meeting: 7th Foundations of Systems Biology in Engineering Conference

该项目支持第七届工程系统生物学基础会议（FOSBE），这是一次国际会议，将于2018年8月5日至8日在伊利诺伊州芝加哥举行。NSF提供的资金用于补贴本科生和研究生注册的费用。系统生物学领域涉及复杂的生物相互作用的整体研究，以了解有机体的功能。它已成为分子和细胞生物学的还原方法与产生有用知识所需的对生物体功能的更全面理解之间的桥梁。例如，这些知识将应用于农业和医学。FOSBE会议召集了一个国际科学家小组，对系统生物学的当前最新技术进行深入审查和批判性评估，并讨论科学领域研究，教育和培训的当前和未来需求。会议还讨论了将科学知识转化为实际应用以造福社会，并确定系统生物学领域的新方向，机遇和挑战。本次会议的计划包括，平台演示，以及扩展的海报会议和头脑风暴会议，让与会者自发地相互互动。参加本科生和研究生和博士后研究相关的有机会给演示文稿，并加强他们在系统领域的培训。会议记录和结果将在适当的科学期刊上发表。系统生物学领域及其转化科学对应系统医学已经成为还原分子和细胞生物学方法与使用这些知识所需的系统水平理解之间的桥梁。借鉴分子和细胞生物学中还原论方法的革命性进展，系统方法专注于基因，蛋白质和代谢物反应之间的关系，这些反应构成了整个生物体水平上的个体和群体反应。第七届工程系统生物学基础会议提供了对当前最先进技术的深入审查和批判性评估，并讨论了研究，教育，培训和实践转化的当前和未来需求。此外，系统生物学的新方向，机遇和挑战被确定。本次会议由分子和细胞生物科学部的系统和合成生物学集群以及化学、生物工程、生物医学和生物医学部的工程生物学和健康集群共同资助。环境和运输系统。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。

This project supports the 7th Foundations of Systems Biology in Engineering Conference (FOSBE), an international conference, being held in Chicago, Illinois, August 5-8, 2018. The funds provided by NSF are used to subsidize the cost of undergraduate and graduate student registration. The field of systems biology involves the holistic study of complex biological interactions in an effort to understand an organism's function. It has emerged as the bridge between the reductionist approaches of molecular and cellular biology and the more global understanding of an organism's function that is required in order to produce useful knowledge. Such knowledge would be applied to agriculture and medicine for example. The FOSBE conference convenes an international group of scientists that provides an in-depth review and critical assessment of the current state-of-the-art in systems biology and discusses the current and future needs of research, education and training for the scientific area. The conference also discusses the translation of scientific knowledge into practical applications for the benefit of society and identify new directions, opportunities and challenges in the area of systems biology. The program for this conference includes, platform presentations, as well as extended poster sessions and brainstorming sessions that allow attendees to spontaneously interact with each other. Attending undergraduate and graduate students and postdoctoral research associated have opportunities to give presentations and enhance their training in the area of systems. The conference proceedings and results will be published in an appropriate scientific journal.The field of systems biology, and its translational science counterpart systems medicine, has emerged as the bridge between reductionist molecular and cellular biology approaches and the systems-level understanding required to use this knowledge. Drawing upon the revolutionary advances from reductionist approaches in molecular and cellular biology, systems approaches focus on the relationships between the gene, protein, and metabolite responses that compose the individual and population responses at the whole organism level. The 7th Foundations of Systems Biology in Engineering Conference provides an in-depth review and critical assessment of the current state-of-the-art and discusses current and future needs of research, education, training and translation to practice. In addition, new directions, opportunities and challenges in systems biology are identified. The activities include poster sessions, a conference proceeding and brainstorming sessions.This conference is co-funded by the Systems and Synthetic Biology cluster in the Division of Molecular and Cellular Bioscience and the Engineering Biology and Health Cluster in the Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental and Transport Systems.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
