International Launch Conference
Frontiers in Multi-Scale Systems Biology
Introducing the New Integrative BioSystems Institute (IBSI) at Georgia TechGeorgian Terrace Hotel, Atlanta, GA
October 18-21, 2008
With this conference, the Georgia Institute of Technology announces and celebrates the launch of its new Integrative BioSystems Institute (www.ibsi.gatech.edu). Frontiers in Multi-Scale Systems Biology will highlight representative topics of multi-scale systems biology including:
- Genomics
- Proteomics
- Metabolomics
- Molecular inventories and databases
- Modeling and simulation
- High-performance computing
- Enabling experimental and computational technologies
- Applications in cancer, neuroscience and the environment
The themes of the conference are:
1. The creation of key molecular inventories that drive integrative biological systems analyses at all significant levels of biological organization.2. Enabling experimental technologies for the investigation of multi-level, multi-scale integrative biological systems.
3. Innovation in high-performance computing, modeling and simulation, with applications in multi-scale integrative biology.
4. Applications of enabling experimental and computational technologies and molecular inventories.
A superb roster of speakers has been assembled, where leaders in their respective fields will discuss the newest developments in integrative systems biology. In addition to the single-track presentation agenda, a poster session will be held to allow other researchers to present their work.
