 UNITN International School on Computational Sciences for Complex Systems in Biology (CSSB 2004) |
School directors:
Corrado Priami - University of Trento, Italy (Computer Science)
Magali Roux-Rouquiè - CNRS, France (Biology)
The school aims at establishing an interdisciplinary research community on foundational theories and tools for information flow and computation in systems biology. Its scope covers modeling techniques as well as formal tools to analyze and simulate the dynamic behavior of complex biological systems.
The recent developments in molecular biology makes impossible the handling of the huge amount of data available by classical approaches. Many biologists joined their efforts to follow a systemic approach to biology thus creating the systems biology discipline. We aim here at enriching these efforts by joining the results obtained in the field of mobile and distributed computing as well as simulation techniques in the last decades in computer science.
The number of events and conferences related to this new dynamic bioinformatics (different from the classical discipline more oriented to the algorithms community) are growing rapidly in number and size. The research groups working in the field are increasing daily. The school could be an aggregation point to exchange ideas and to start new and exciting international collaborations.
Admission
The intended audience includes young researchers from the computer science and life science fields. The school will provide the opportunity to take an exam on some of the topics covered so that it can work as a PhD course. The total number of students attending the school will be limited to max. 40 people.
