[The First International Conference on Systems Biology(ICSB2000)]
(The 9th JST International Symposium)
14-16 November, 2000
Royal Park Hotel @ TCAT
Tokyo, Japan
Organizer: Japan Science and Technology Corporation
(a government organization under Science and Technology Agency)
Supported by: Japanese Society for Bioinformatics
The First International Conference on Systems Biology aims at bringing
together researchers working in the field of Systems Biology and
related field to present the current status of their research and to
discuss future directions of the field. The importance of the
system-level understanding of biological systems is receiving
increasing recognition recently.
Nevertheless, the efforts are still sporadic and there is no
conference specifically focused on this topic. While there are
conferences on bioinformatics, the threads of these conferences are
the use of computers in various aspects of biology, and not
necessarily viewed from the system-level perspectives. Thus, these
conferences cover broadly from sequence database, protein structures
to gene networks, and less emphasis on the system-level understanding.
Therefore, the goal of the conference is to create a forum of
discussion for those who are interested in system-level understanding
from various approaches for various biological systems, so that such
efforts can form a coherent landscape. Systems Biology that focuses on
system level understanding can be a major thrust in biology in the
21st century.
The conference will be organized for one day of tutorials and
specialized work shops, and two-days of conference based on invited
talks and peer-reviewed selected papers from submitted papers. Poster
sessions will run in parallel. All accepted papers and invited papers
are published as a book after the conference. (Currently negotiating
with major publishers, such as The MIT Press, Springer.)
Topics includes (but not limited to):
* Methodologies for systems-level understanding of life
* Tools and technologies for systems biology (software, high-throughput
assay, high precision, quantitative measurements, etc)
* Systems-level analysis of biological systems (such as control theory
analysis, bifurcation analysis, etc)
* Reverse engineering of gene regulatory and metabolism networks from data
Prediction of genes and metabolic pathways based on system-level analysis
* Large scale database for systems biology
* Control of cells and biological systems
* Preemptive Molecular medicine
