*********
The current COVID-19 situation is challenging and difficult for all of us - we hope this virtual conference will allow colleagues to share and discuss their latest research, while under travel and stay-at-home restrictions.
*********
The seventh Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory meeting on Network Biology is going fully virtual and will begin late morning EST on Tuesday, March 16, and will conclude late afternoon EST on Friday, March 19, 2021.
The meeting covers a wide topical range focused on understanding the role of molecular networks for biological phenomena. It is intended to foster a cross-disciplinary exchange of ideas and approaches among experimental and computational scientists for using network science to understand diseases and phenotypes in animals and plants. The topic of "Applicability and Translatability of Network Biology " will be discussed by a panel of scientists at different career stages with complementary expertise on the topic. "Meet-the-Speaker" small group virtual events provide additional opportunities for students to get advice from and discuss with established scientists. A number of internationally renowned leaders in the field will share their latest results, while the majority of oral presentations will be selected from submitted abstracts.
