We are pleased to announce the 2008 Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory/
Wellcome Trust conference on Network Biology. Building upon
the strength of the previous annual CSHL/WT meetings on interactome
networks held in Hinxton, UK (2005, 2006 and 2007) and the ORFeome
meeting held in Boston, MA, USA (2000 through 2007), this
conference will address the mapping and modeling of molecular
interactions and networks in the cell. The 2008 conference will
again be held at the Wellcome Trust Conference Centre on the
Wellcome Trust Genome Campus in Hinxton, UK. The meeting will
begin in the afternoon (3 pm) of Wednesday August 27, 2008,
and end with a banquet on Saturday evening, with departure on
Sunday morning August 31.
The cell is a highly organized system of interacting macromolecules
and metabolites. Network Biology attempts to understand biology
from the point-of-view of the global and local systems properties
of molecular networks. The conference will address the structure,
function and dynamics of a variety of cellular networks such
as genetic, transcriptional, post-transcriptional gene regulatory,
protein-protein interaction, signaling, and metabolic networks.
A central theme of the meeting is to understand how network
properties relate to phenotypes, including human disease. We
aim to bring together senior and junior investigators, postdoctoral
and (post)graduate researchers in a range of cutting-edge disciplines,
including high-throughput interaction measurements, mass spectrometry,
informatics, modeling, imaging and human genetics, to share
existing research and experience. As is usual for regular CSHL
meetings, the majority of short talks will be selected from
the openly submitted abstracts.
Topics include:
Transcriptional and Post-Transcriptional Networks
Signaling and Machinery
Networks
Metabolic Networks
From Network to Protein
Properties
Genetic Networks
Network Medicine

Abstracts should contain new and unpublished material.
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 website as
soon as decisions have been made by the organizers. Please bring
this notice to the attention of any of your colleagues who may
be interested.
We are eager to have as many young people as possible
attend since they are likely to benefit most from this meeting.
All registrations and abstracts MUST be submitted by the abstract
deadline, June 18, 2008. Late registration
may be accepted after the abstract deadline if the meeting is
not oversubscribed. In the event of over subscription, every
effort will be made to ensure that all groups who wish to participate
will be represented. 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 Hinxton in August.
The 2009 meeting is scheduled to be held at Cold Spring Harbor
Laboratory March 18-21, 2009.
