Technology meets Science‘ – Representatives of research and industry get together Valuable contacts in applied Systems Biology to be made in Dresden, Germany
At the second Conference on Systems Biology of Mammalian Cells, SBMC, which will take place in the Kulturpalast in Dresden, Germany, representatives of research and industry will meet on May 22 nd, 2008. The objective is to bring together potential co-operation partners in order to strengthen the collaboration between research and industry in Systems Biology projects.
Systems Biology is devoted to studying biological processes on a system level. It strives to create a holistic picture of dynamic life processes with regard to all levels – from the genome via the proteome and the organisation of the cell organelles all the way to the complete cell or even an entire organism. In order to achieve this high aspiration, Systems Biology combines quantitative methods used in molecular biology with knowledge gathered in mathematics, informatics and systems science.
