Pictures from the 2008 Conference are here.
The q-bio 2009 website will be up later this year. The 2009 conference dates are August 5-8, 2009 at the same location with the same accomodations and format.
The q-bio Conference is intended to advance predictive modeling of cellular regulation. The emphasis is on modeling and quantitative experimentation for understanding and predicting the behaviors of particular regulatory systems, phenomena that manifest themselves in many biological systems, and/or general principles of cellular information processing.
The single-track program will include invited talks from leading experimental and theoretical researchers (confirmed speakers are listed at left), as well as contributed talks, poster presentations, and tutorials selected from abstract submissions. The program includes two banquets, six sessions covering a range of topics, and two extended evening poster sessions.
A satellite workshop has been established and will be held on Saturday and Sunday, August 9th and 10th. More information on the Workshop on Nuclear Pore Complex: Biology, Physics and Nanotechnology (including registration) can be found at the workshop website.
There will be an opportunity for selected participants to submit papers elaborating on presentations made at the conference to special issues of IET Systems Biology and Molecular Systems Biology.
Lodging is available for participants at the conference venue, the campus of St. John’s College, facilitating interactions and stimulating informal discussions of quantitative biology. Space is available for 200 participants. If registration demand exceeds capacity, preference will be given to individuals selected to make presentations at the meeting.
Tutorials and software demonstrations will take place on August 6. Satellite workshops will take place on August 10. Please contact the organizers if you are interested in organizing one of these events. The q-bio Summer School will precede the conference. It will take place in Los Alamos from July 21 to August 5 - students will then attend the q-bio Conference. The school is intended for researchers new to modeling cellular regulatory systems. Scholarships are available. Travel awards are also available to help graduate students and postdocs attend the conference. Apply for admission to the summer school and/or financial support by submitting a CV along with an abstract for a contributed talk or poster. Use the abstract submission link at top.
Extended deadline for abstract submission: May 1, 2008
Extended deadline for summer school application: May 1, 2008
Deadline for early conference registration: June 1, 2008
