One day symposium 8 November 2007 Integrative Bioinformatics: At the cutting edge of network analysis and biological data integration Each molecular biologist working with high throughput data is confronted with the need to reconstruct and validate the underlying complex regulatory networks. At this one-day symposium, some of the most prominent leaders in the field will present their approaches and views. This symposium offers a platform for a discussion of state of the art biological network analyses. Confirmed speakers and titles: - Leroy Hood: Biological networks and disease - Ruedi Aebersold: Protein-centered networks in systems biology: Analysis and visualization - Trey Ideker: Gaining power in gene association studies with Cytoscape - Andrew Hopkins: Network Pharmacology: chemical opportunities for systems biology - Peter Sorger: Modeling Mammalian Death and Survival Pathways - Ewan Birney: Reactome, Networks and Genomes - Rogier Versteeg: Oncogenic networks of cancer pathways in childhood cancer - Benno Schwikowski: Computational tools increasing sensitivity and reliability of mass spec-based proteomics - Chris Sander: Systems Biology of Cancer Pathways: from Molecular Perturbations to Cellular Phenotypes - Jean-Daniel Fekete: Visualizing Dense Networks with Enhanced and Hybrid Matrices Please distribute the attached poster (pdf) in your institute. The symposium is part of the 5th annual Cytoscape Public Symposium and Developers Retreat.
