Conference on Predicting Cell Metabolism and Phenotypes. A joint workshop on SRI Pathway Tools and Biolog Phenotype MicroArrays

Conference - Menlo Park, CA, United States

Many research groups are interested in cell modeling, and models have begun to gain acceptance and proliferate.  But are these models accurate and capable of making useful predictions of cell function?  The last several years have seen significant improvements in computational methods for performing phenotypic predictions from metabolic network models.  The speed with which such models can be assembled has also advanced.  Similarly, experimental methods for high-throughput phenotypic characterization of cells have advanced during this time, and in particular, the use of Phenotype MicroArrays in challenging and improving models has become more widespread.  This three-day conference will bring together researchers in these and related areas to define current gaps and explore potential synergies between these computational and experimental approaches.
