*** ICSB 2001 ***
The Second International Conference on Systems Biology
------------------------------------------------------
The California Institute of Technology
Pasadena, CA, USA
November 4-7, 2001
http://www.icsb2001.org
Poster abstract submission deadline: September 2, 2001
Systems Biology is the synergistic application of experiment,
theory and modeling towards understanding biological processes as
whole systems instead of isolated parts. Understanding
biological processes from the systems perspective is an essential
cornerstone of a true understanding of biological function.
The Second International Conference on Systems Biology (ICSB2001)
will bring together researchers working in systems biology and
related areas to present the current status of their research and
to discuss future directions for the field. This year, ICSB2001
will be held during November 4-7, 2001, at the California
Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California, USA.
The conference will begin with tutorials and workshops on the
morning of Sunday, November 4. The formal scientific sessions
will begin on Monday, November 5, at 8:30 AM and end at noon on
Wednesday, November 7. The sessions will feature keynote
speeches and invited presentations by world-renowned researchers,
along with afternoon poster sessions and evening social
activities.
