2008 q-bio Conference
The annual q-bio conference advances predictive modeling of cellular regulation, decision making, formation of response, and other information processing phenomena. The emphasis is on deep theoretical understanding, detailed modeling, and quantitative experimentation directed at understanding the behavior of particular regulatory systems and/or elucidating general principles of cellular information processing. Unlike many biological conferences, which focus on specific model systems, q-bio focuses on understanding of phenomena, which manifest themselves in many biological systems.
The IAS provided financial support that enabled 23 researchers at the University of New Mexico and New Mexico State University to participate in the annual q-bio Conference. This four-day conference was attended by over 200 researchers working in systems biology and featured a number of tutorial talks, over 40 invited and contributed talks, and about 120 poster presentations. A highlight of the meeting was the opening talk by Professor Howard C. Berg of Harvard University, a renowned biophysicist and member of the National Academy of Sciences.
This conference takes place annually. For more information about the 2008 conference and information about the 2009 conference, follow this link
