Dear all, <br>
<br>
We are pleased to announce the following ECCB'14 workshop on
"Logical Modelling and Analysis of Cellular Networks" that will take
place Saturday, 6th September, 2014, in Strasbourg, France. <br>
<br>
Since the seminal publications of Stuart Kauffman and René Thomas
about 40 years ago, logical modelling has been increasingly used to
model the dynamical behaviour of biological regulatory networks.
However, behind the common denomination “logical modelling”,
computational biologists are using different formalisations
(Boolean, multilevel, deterministic, stochastic, etc.) and have
developed various methods and tools, which might be somewhat
difficult to choose from to address specific biological questions.<br>
This workshop aims at providing an extensive and organised overview
of recent developments that render possible the modelling and the
analysis of large cellular networks, encompassing various signalling
pathways, sophisticate transcriptional networks, as well as novel
regulatory mechanisms (e.g. regulatory effects of miRNA, epigenetic
regulations,etc.). <br>
<br>
Invited speakers will refer to applications dealing with the control
of cell proliferation, cell differentiation and reprogramming,
embryonic development, immune response, and cancer drug resistance.
They will emphasise the biological insights gained with logical
modelling in general, as well as by using specific analysis methods.<br>
<br>
<u><b>Three to four slots have been reserved for contributed talks
by young researchers (PhD, postdocs), with limited support
(registration waiving).</b></u><br>
<br>
<b>Key dates:</b><br>
- <b>Abstract submission deadline: May 24th, 2014</b><br>
-<b> Application for support: July 29th, 2014</b><br>
- Workshop: September 6th, 2014<br>
