CORE D: DISSEMINATION

圣地亚哥系统生物学中心的一个主要目标是在地方、国家和国际层面对系统生物学的发展和实践作出实质性贡献。世界银行的使命是 传播和研究培训的核心是 ？扩大中心的影响？S在应对概念和技术挑战方面取得进展 ？在地方、区域、国家和国际各级向系统生物学社区发展。 ？为确保持续培训现有领导人迎接系统生物学的挑战， 这里描述的许多活动都建立在为圣地亚哥系统生物学联合会运行编程的经验基础上。SDCSB(http://www.sdcsb.org))是由Kiger博士和Chanda博士于2004年成立的，是加州大学圣地亚哥分校生物科学部和诺华研究基金会基因组研究所之间的基层合作努力，旨在推动圣地亚哥科学界发展系统生物学网络。它已经发展到包括圣地亚哥/Torrey Pines地区的所有主要研究机构，并得到了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跨越机构和学科界限的当地科学家聚集在一起，分享围绕系统生物学的想法、专业知识和资源。具体地说，SDCSB主办了4次从系统到综合的年度研讨会，并就各种主题举办了9次研讨会。领导在很大程度上是由基格、昌达和霍夫曼博士提供的。然而，保持这种参与水平需要制度上的支持，特别是在组织上，财政支持可以继续来自当地生物技术的赞助。因此，将该联盟并入新的系统生物学中心符合S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.
