NETTAB 2014 From high-throughput structural bioinformatics to integrative systems biology
Italy - Torino
Oct 15 - 17, 2014
The NETTAB 2014 Workshop will
be a joint event with the Crystal (cl)Year meeting, in the International Year of Crystallography 2014, and it will be followed by the annual meeting of the Centre for Complex Systems in Molecular Biology and Medicine.  The workshop may then represent a virtual bridge between these two events, showing how to manage and elaborate structural and high-throughput proteomics
data so that it may be integrated with information from genomics and other life sciences disciplines with the aim of reaching a richer description and a deeper understanding of mechanisms and interactions in the involved system: the human being and its physiological and pathological states.
