Preliminary Program subject to change
T4001 - Paradigms for Systems Biology - Invited Session Only
OverviewThe hallmark of systems biology is that the whole of the system is greater than the sum of its parts. In this session, the speakers will address what paradigms are necessary to use those parts to understand the whole. The particular methods that will be focused on include genomic approaches, proteomic approaches, synthetic biology contributions, and in silico methods.
