Preliminary Program subject to change
TA005 In Silico Systems Biology
OverviewA critical component of systems biology is the development of in silico approaches to understand systems of interest. For this session, papers discussing novel uses of in silico methods to understand biological systems, as well as the development of new technologies and algorithms for in silico systems analysis are welcome. Research including experimental work is particularly encouraged.
