15D01 Intracellular Processes
OverviewWe seek presentations that utilize experimental methods, computational modeling, and integrated experimental and computational approaches for the analysis of intracellular processes, in the context of biomedical systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: binding and molecular interactions, gene and protein networks, crosstalk between signaling pathways, signaling pathway dynamics, and intracellular trafficking, and novel approaches for monitoring intracellular processes. Multi-scale approaches involving measurement and regulation across gene, protein, and metabolic systems are particularly encouraged.
