We are pleased to announce the second Cold Spring
Harbor conference on Engineering Principles in Biological Systems,
which will begin at 7:30 pm on Wednesday, December 10 and run through lunch
on Saturday, December 13, 2008.
There are two key ideas behind this meeting: that theoretical
engineering principles that have been developed in the context of human
engineered systems are useful in understanding biological function, and
that these principles apply across scales, from the cellular to the
organism level. In keeping with these ideas, we hope to attract researchers
in fields ranging from bacterial systems biology to neural systems, with
shared interest in engineering principles. Sessions will be broken up
according to broad areas of biological research, with a mixture of
biologically-oriented talks and engineering-oriented talks in each session.
The conference is intended to foster cross-disciplinary
exchange of ideas and expertise between engineers, mathematicians and
biologists interested in the analysis of diverse biological systems through
the application of engineering principles. While a number of speakers have
been invited, please note that the majority of oral presentations will be
drawn from openly submitted abstracts.
Topics:
* Intracellular networks
* Microbial ecosystems
* Neural systems
* Integrative systems
* Development
* Evolution
Invited
Speakers:
Bob Barlow, SUNY Upstate Medical
University
Hana El-Samad, University of
California San Francisco
Robert Full, University of California, Berkeley
Ralph Greenspan, The Neurosciences
Institute
Daniel Koditschek, University of
Michigan
Richard Murray, California Institute
of Technology
Dianne Newman, Massachusetts
Institute of Technology
Johan Paulsson, Harvard Medical
School
Raul Rabadan, Institute for Advanced
Study
Gordon Shepherd, Yale University
Medical School
Christina Smolke, California
Institute of Technology
Abstracts should contain interesting
and exciting material and must be submitted electronically by the
abstract deadline. Selection of material for oral
and poster presentation will be made by the organizers and individual
session chairs. Status (talk/poster) of abstracts will be posted on our web
site as soon as decisions have been made by the organizers.
We look forward to seeing you at Cold
Spring Harbor
in December.
We have significant funds to
partially support graduate students and postdocs submitting abstracts
accepted as oral or poster presentations. Apply in writing to beavers@cshl.edu stating need for
financial support.
This
conference is funded in part by the Center for Biological Circuit Design,
California Institute of Technolog, Cold Spring
Harbor Laboratory’s
corporate Sponsor Program and pending from NSF.
