Eighth International Conference on Systems Biology (ICSB 2007)

描述（由申请人提供）：第八届系统生物学国际会议（ICSB 2007）PI：Michael Hucka（加州理工学院）联合主席：布鲁斯E。夏皮罗（加州理工学院）亚瑟D。Lander（UC Irvine）陶穆易（UC Irvine） 第八届系统生物学国际会议（ICSB 2007）将于2007年10月1日至6日在加利福尼亚州长滩的长滩会议中心举行。加州理工学院和加州大学欧文分校（UCI）是赞助组织。ICSB被广泛认为是系统生物学的首要会议。会议的目的是汇集来自不同学科的科学家，讨论系统生物学的创造性和创新性方法，将生物过程作为整个系统而不是孤立的部分进行定量研究。确认的主题演讲人是Eric Lander，Eric Wieschaus和Claire Tomlin博士。将有9个全体会议：（1）形态发生，（2）数学前沿，（3）技术前沿，（4）网络，（5）合成生物学，（6）系统生物信息学，（7）监管系统，（8）学生会议，和（9）系统生物医学。我们将首次从提交的摘要库中挑选发言者。将有一天的教程和开幕式主题演讲和招待会（10月1日），然后是三天（10月2日至4日）的会谈，包括一个会议，包括专门由学生发言，两个海报会议，和三个minisymopsia。会议将以两天的研讨会（10月5日至6日）结束。根据以往的经验，会议将吸引代表各种学科和职业发展阶段的各种各样的听众。会议的一项指导原则是鼓励在有利于集思广益的非正式气氛中交流信息。 特别活动包括一个关于系统生物学教育的小型专题讨论会，《分子系统生物学》杂志（自然和欧洲分子生物学组织出版社）专门为会议发行的特刊，以及初步计划为新的国际系统生物学学会举行的开幕会议，该学会将是未来会议的赞助组织。会议记录将以印刷品和光盘形式分发给与会者。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Eighth International Conference on Systems Biology (ICSB 2007) PI: Michael Hucka (California Institute of Technology) Co-Chairs: Bruce E. Shapiro (California Institute of Technology) Arthur D. Lander (UC Irvine) Tau-Mu Yi (UC Irvine) The Eighth International Conference on Systems Biology (ICSB 2007) will be held from October 1 to 6, 2007 in Long Beach, CA at the Long Beach Convention Center. Caltech and the University of California, Irvine (UCI) are the sponsoring organizations. ICSB is widely acknowledged as the premiere conference on systems biology. The purpose of the conference is to bring together scientists from a variety of disciplines to discuss creative and innovative approaches to systems biology, the quantitative study of biological processes as whole systems instead of isolated parts. The confirmed keynote speakers are Drs. Eric Lander, Eric Wieschaus, and Claire Tomlin. There will be 9 plenary sessions: (1) Morphogenesis, (2) Mathematical Frontiers, (3) Technological Frontiers, (4) Networks, (5) Synthetic Biology, (6) Systems Bioinformatics, (7) Regulatory Systems, (8) Student Session, and (9) Systems Biomedicine. For the first time we will be selecting of the speakers from the pool of submitted abstracts. There will be one day of tutorials and the opening keynote address and reception (October 1) followed by three days (October 2-4) of talks including a session consisting exclusively of student speakers, two poster sessions, and three minisymposia. The conference will conclude with two days (October 5-6) of workshops. Based on past experience, the meeting will attract an eclectic audience representing a variety of disciplines and stages of career development. A guiding principle of the meeting is encouraging information exchange in an informal atmosphere conducive to brainstorming. Special events include a minisymposium on systems biology education, a special issue of the journal Molecular Systems Biology (Nature and EMBO Press) devoted to the conference and a tentatively planned inaugural meeting for the new International Society of Systems Biology, which will be a sponsoring organization for future conferences. The conference proceedings will be distributed to attendees in printed form and as a CD-ROM.
