ISNB 2006 3rd INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON NETWORKS IN BIOINFORMATICS

May 29 - 31, 2006 in Amsterdam

Science Park Amsterdam
University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands

The understanding of biological networks such as metabolic and signal
transduction pathways is crucial for understanding molecular and cellular
processes in the organism or system under study. This field is subject of
lively research and both experimental and computational approaches are used
to elucidate the biological networks. The bioinformatics of biological
networks involves a broad range of research and approaches. Research includes
the identification of regulatory elements in DNA, genome context analysis,
modeling and simulation of pathways, reconstruction of pathways from
experimental data, visualization of pathways, and the representation of
pathways in database, graphs and markup languages. To accelerate our
understanding of the (dynamics) of biological networks it is seems imperative
that these efforts are combined and subsequently have to be applied to real
biological problems. It is clear that this field of research can only advance
when bioinformaticians and experimental biologists (for example working on
model organisms such as Drosophila and organisms with a relatively simple and
basal body plan such as sponges and scleractinian corals) work closely
together. During this three day symposium we will bring together researchers
from different disciplines (biology, mathematics and computational sciences)
working on different aspects of networks to exchange ideas and approaches.
The first day of the symposium is scheduled for introductory lectures.
During the first day of the symposium we have scheduled six introductory
lectures, which aim at introducing specific subjects to the audience. The
lectures are open for all participants and will provide background knowledge
for the scientific presentations.
