The First International Conference on Computational Systems Biology

The First International Conference on Computational Systems Biology will be held in Shanghai, China, July 20-23, 2006

Leading researchers and practitioners in computational systems biology around the world, will gather at ICCSB '06 for four days of presentations, poster sessions, workshops, software demonstrations, and professional discussions.

The purpose of the conference is to address the emerging challenges in computational biology, to provide a general forum for discussing the latest development in this field and to promote its applications to complex diseases and drug development.

Typical but not exclusive topics of interest include

• Modeling and identification of biological systems
• Dynamics of complex biological systems
• Optimization and control of biological processes
• Design and synthesis of biological systems
• Computational nanoscience and nanotechnology
• Systems biology and drug development
• Inference of gene regulatory and protein signaling networks
• Protein-protein interaction networks
• Proteomics for systems biology
• Inference of gene interaction networks
• Metabolomics in Health and Disease
• Evolution of biological networks
• Systems biology and environmental science
• Systems biology and genome-wide association studies

Papers reporting on original researching in computational systems biology are sought. Papers submitted for review should represent original, previously unpublished work. A selection of the accepted paper after peer review will be invited to appear in a special issue of the IEE Proceedings Systems Biology devoted to ICCSB 2006.

The first international conference on computational systems biology is sponsored by Fudan University, CAS-MPG Partner Institute of Computational Biology and SIBS Shanghai Jiaotong University and co-sponsored by the International Society of Computational Biology.
