Description |
|
| The understanding of biological networks such as metabolic and signal transduction pathways is crucial for understanding molecular and cellular processes in the organism or system under study. This field is subject of lively research and both experimental and computational approaches are used to elucidate the biological networks. The bioinformatics of biological networks involves a broad range of research and approaches. Research includes the identification of regulatory elements in DNA, genome context analysis, modeling and simulation of pathways, reconstruction of pathways from experimental data, visualization of pathways, and the representation of pathways in database, graphs and markup languages. To accelerate our understanding of the (dynamics) of biological networks it is seems imperative that these efforts are combined and subsequently have to be applied to real biological problems. It is clear that this field of research can only advance when bioinformaticians and experimental biologists (for example working on model organisms such as Drosophila and organisms with a relatively simple and basal body plan such as sponges and scleractinian corals) work closely together. During this three day symposium we will bring together researchers from different disciplines (biology, mathematics and computational sciences) working on different aspects of networks to exchange ideas and approaches. During the first day of the symposium we have scheduled six introductory lectures, which aim at introducing specific subjects to the audience. The lectures are open for all participants and will provide background knowledge for the scientific presentations.
