| Synthetic and Systems Biology Summer School: Biology meets Engineering and Computer Science Taormina - Sicily, Italy, June 15-19, 2014 W: http://www.taosciences.it/ssbss2014/ E: ssbss2014@dmi.unict.it *Application Deadline: February 15 2014* Recent advances in DNA synthesis have increased our ability to build biological systems. Synthetic Biology aims at streamlining the design and synthesis of robust and predictable biological systems using engineering design principles. Designing biological systems requires a deep understanding of how genes and proteins are organized and interact in living cells: Systems Biology aims at elucidating the cellular organization at gene, protein, cell, tissue, organ and network level using computational and biochemical methods. The Synthetic and Systems Biology Summer School (SSBSS) is a full-immersion course on cutting-edge advances in systems and synthetic biology with lectures delivered by world-renowned experts. The school provides a stimulating environment for doctoral students, early career researches and industry leaders. Participants will also have the chance to present their results (Oral presentations or Posters) and to interact with their peers. *List of Speakers* Uri Alon, Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel Jef Boeke, Johns Hopkins University, USA Jason Chin, MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, UK Virginia Cornish, Columbia University, USA Angela DePace, Harvard University, USA Paul Freemont, Imperial College London, UK Farren Isaacs, Yale University, USA Tanja Kortemme, University of California San Francisco, USA Giuseppe Nicosia, University of Catania, Italy Sven Panke, ETH, Switzerland Rahul Sarpeshkar, MIT, USA Giovanni Stracquadanio, Johns Hopkins University, USA Ron Weiss, MIT, USA Other speakers will be announced soon. School Directors Jef Boeke, Johns Hopkins University, USA Giuseppe Nicosia, University of Catania, Italy Mario Pavone, University of Catania, Italy Giovanni Stracquadanio, Johns Hopkins University, USA Short Talk and Poster Submission Students may submit a research abstract for presentation. School directors will review the abstracts and will recommend for poster or short-oral presentation. Abstract should be submitted by February 15, 2014. The abstracts will be published on the electronic hands-out material of the summer school. W: http://www.taosciences.it/ssbss2014/ E: ssbss2014@dmi.unict.it |
