Submissions can be > considered for both oral and poster presentations. > > FOSBE 2012 (http://fosbe2012.org/ ) is an international conference > that addresses emerging challenges and opportunities in systems > biology with a particular emphasis on engineering approaches and > applications. Recent advances in biotechnology have lead to a massive > increase in the quality and quantity of data available to bioscience > researchers that was almost unimaginable 10 years ago. The > availability of these ?Omic? datasets have highlighted the requirement > for novel computational approaches to extract new information, > integrate this information and lead to new knowledge. Furthermore, > advances in computational approaches are required for the integration > of these data into formal biological models, with the ultimate aim of > full understanding of mechanisms that are either difficult to obtain > experimentally or counter-intuitive. From these foundations, the > interdisciplinary field of Systems Biology has emerged with the > primary aim of effectively integrating science, mathematics and > engineering to address complexity in biology, using multi- dimensional > datasets and to train future interdisciplinary graduates. The FOSBE > series of conferences uniquely focus on integrative engineering > approaches to Systems Biology. > Please share this e-mail with colleagues and interested parties. > The people of Tsuruoka, the organising committee of FOSBE 2012, and I > look forward to you coming to this exciting meeting. > > Yours, > > Masaru Tomita > > Chair of FOSBE 2012 > > Important dates > 2012.07.14 17:00 JST Abstract submission deadline (notification mid > July) > 2012.07.31 17:00 JST Early registration deadline > > Confirmed speakers > > > Hiroaki Kitano > > > > Sony Computer Science > Laboratories, Inc. > > > > Japan > > > > Hirotada Mori > > > > Nara Institute of > Science and Technology > > > > Japan > > > > Hiroki Ueda > > > > RIKEN Center for > Developmental Biology > > > > Japan > > > > Tomoyoshi Soga > > > > Institute for Advanced > Biosciences > > > > Japan > > > > Jorg Stelling > > > > ETH Zurich > > > > Switzerland > > > > Jung Kyoon Choi > > > > Genome Institute of > Singapore > > > > Singapore > > > > Francis Doyle > > > > University California > Santa Barbara > > > > USA > > > > Wen-Lian Hsu > > > > Academia Sinica > > > > Taiwan > > > > Michael Stumpf > > > > Imperial College > > > > UK > > > > Teruo Fujii > > > > The University of > Tokyo > > > > Japan > > > > Corrado Priami > > > > University of Trento > > > > Italy > > > > Shoji Takeuchi > > > > The University of > Tokyo > > > > Japan > > > > Hans Peter Herzel > > > > Humboldt University > Berlin > > > > Germany > > > > Johjoe McFadden > > > > University of Surrey > > > > UK > > > > > > > > > FOSBE Organising committee > Frank Allgower, Stuttgart University > Jeffrey Blanchard,Umass > Eric Bullinger, Universite de Liege > Francis J.
