Multiscale Systems Biology


Description:
A fundamental goal of systems biology is to integrate different component parts of a biological system to understand the workings of the whole. Oftentimes the whole biological system will span either multiple time or spatial scales, if not both. The goal of this session is to discuss research that allows us to better understand such multiscale systems. Papers on both experimental and computational studies are welcome.
