1st FEBS Advanced Lecture Course - SysBio2005 Scientific
Programme
Outline of the Course
Systems Biology is one of the most
prominent newly emerging interdisciplinary science areas. It connects fields such
as genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, mathematics, engineering, cell
biology and genetics, with mathematics and computation, so allow for the
generation of testable and predictive models of complex cellular pathways and
eventually whole cells. This 1st FEBS Course on Systems Biology shall cover
all essential aspects of Systems Biology from principles and methods to
applications and modeling in living systems. The Federation of the European
Biochemical Societies, FEBS, is the main sponsor of this exciting lecture
course. Moreover, contributions from non-profit institutions, such as the
BioCentrum Amsterdam, and the FP6 Research Program enabled the organization
of FEBS-SysBio2005. We were able to commit many leading
experts to participate as lecturers, and we are thus confident that SysBio2005
will be an outstanding lecture course with an exquisite scientific program. It will open the doors and hopefully act
as the major regular platform for student training in Systems Biology in
Europe. We are looking forward to seeing you all
in Gosau, Austria
Course Organizers Scientific Programme
There will be 5 Plenary Symposia,
each moderated by the indicated chair acting as discussion leader. The chair
shall also give an introduction to the topic of the particular symposium. Tentative List of Invited Lecturers and
Chairs
Symposium 1: Principles of Systems
Biology
Symposium 2:
Methods and Tools for Systems Biology
Symposium 3:
Systems Biology in Prokaryotes
Symposium 4:
Systems Biology in Unicellular Eukaryotes
Symposium 5:
Systems Biology in Mammalian Cells
Finally, the SysBiol Course will be
enriched by a Keynote Plenary Lecture delivered by Dennis
Noble. A prominent scientist from the list of invited speakers shall
deliver the Final Keynote Address to conclude the
SysBiol2005 Course. Oral Presentations
“Workshop Talks” of 20 min and “Short Talks” of
12 min will be delivered during afternoon and evening sessions by principal
investigators and graduate students or postdocs, respectively. The SAB shall select
all oral presentations of applicants based on submitted abstracts. Poster Session
The poster session represents a vital
part of the SysBiol Course. All abstracts not selected for oral presentations
will be on display as posters during the entire course to
provide ample time for informal discussions among students, participants and
lecturers. Workshop "Quantitative Data &
Standardization"
A special 1-day evening workshop
shall initiate training of students in the generation of quantitative
biological data using standardized protocols
suitable for molecular modeling in SysBiol. Sattelite Workshops
Representatives of two EC-funded FP6
research networks. EUSYSBIO and SYMBIONIC, as
well as members of the Yeast Systems Biology Network (www.YSBN.org), will
gather for a closed 1-day sattelite workshop after the
course. Another closed sattelite workshop supported by the European
Science Foundation (ESF) will work out strategies for an ESF Forward
Look Programme on Systems Biology. The ESF workshop shall discuss
strategies for sustained SysBiol training and research programme development
in Europe. Young Investigator Awards
All abstracts submitted by graduate
students or postdoctoral fellows as first authors are
subject to scientific evaluation by selected members of the SAB. The best 3
abstracts shall receive the "SysBio2005 Young Investigator Award" at
the end of the course. Systems Biology Researcher
