Quantitative Biology on the Hawaiian Islands - Research Meeting

Posted on Sep 14, 2012 8:55:00 AM

 

The First Annual Winter Q-BIO Meeting - Hawaiian Islands, United States

Technology is driving revolutionary changes in biology. Over the past decade, scientists and engineers have begun to define the path forward in the genomic era.

Systems Biology has arisen as the deduction of interaction networks from -omics data generated in the wake of remarkable technological achievements. Likewise, DNA synthesis technologies are driving the development of Synthetic Biology, whereby engineered circuitry and even entire genomes can be reconstituted from chemical building blocks. These two emerging areas have catalyzed the growth of Quantitative Biology, whereby the central goal is the deduction of quantitative principles that can be used to construct predictive models for biological phenomena.

The Winter q-bio meeting brings together scientists and engineers who are interested in all areas of q-bio. Each year, the meeting will rotate on the Hawaiian Islands with a different thematic focus within q-bio.  The focus for the meeting this year will be Synthetic Biology, with about half of the invited speakers chosen as renowned experts in this area.
