Synopsis: <i>High-throughput biology (genomics, proteomics,
transcriptomics, metabolomics, etc.) is producing </i><i><br>
</i><i>massive amounts of data that in different ways can help us
understand biology. A major challenge is</i><i><br>
</i><i>to turn this Big Data into knowledge that generates novel
biological insights. Diverse types of data </i><i><br>
</i><i>can be analysed together to build models of the complex
interplay between genes, proteins, and other </i><i><br>
</i><i>molecular entities. The current knowledge of signalling and
regulatory pathways is still at a very </i><i><br>
</i><i>rudimentary level, and generally there is incomplete
understanding of the molecular mechanisms that </i><i><br>
</i><i>when perturbed cause common diseases. By bringing together
the worldâs top scientists in the field</i><i><br>
</i><i>we want to give all participants insights into the most novel
techniques and results. The aim of the </i><i><br>
</i><i>symposium is also to stimulate beneficial collaborations
between network and systems biology groups</i><i><br>
</i><i>in the international scientific community and various
research groups in Sweden. </i><br>
<br>
anyone interested in attending the symposium may register on the
website. Please note that pre-registration is required. Since the
number of seats is limited, registrations will be accepted on a
first come, first serve basis. The symposium is free of charge.<br>
