Other information:
Systems Biology has emerged in recent years as an approach to biology that aims to discover how function at all levels of biological hierarchy emerges from the interactions between components of biological systems. It may start from the analysis of the patterns of dynamical bahviour of all system components together in a data-driven hypothesis generating mode (top-down systems biology), or from the analysis of how non-linear interactions between a limited number of interacting components generates functional properties where the goal is prediction and modelling of biology behaviour.
The meeting at York is the first Biochemical Society meeting to look at how this new research paradigm is being implemented in many different areas of biochemistry and molecular biology. It is planned as three linked focused meetings: on metabolism, on regulatory networks and signal transduction, and on implications for health and disease. In addition to these three parallel sessions, there will be plenary lectures and common poster sessions. Delegates will be free to move between the meetings, creating individual programmes focusing more on either bacterial or eukaryotic research, or on either experimental or modelling approaches.
In drawing up the programme, we have been able to benefit from the range of Systems Biology research initiated in the UK by the investments made by the BBSRC and EPSRC, which included the creation of six centres of Systems Biology and three doctoral training centres. In addition, collaborative research projects have been established with other European countries with System Biology programmes of their own.
