Understanding biological processes from the systems perspective is an essential cornerstone of a true understanding of biological function. The Second International Conference on Systems Biology (ICSB2001) will bring together researchers working in systems biology and related areas to present the current status of their research and to discuss future directions for the field. This year, ICSB2001 will be held during November 4-7, 2001, at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California, USA. The conference will begin with tutorials and workshops on the morning of Sunday, November 4. The formal scientific sessions will begin on Monday, November 5, at 8:30 AM and end at noon on Wednesday, November 7. The sessions will feature keynote speeches and invited presentations by world-renowned researchers, along with afternoon poster sessions and evening social activities. KEYNOTE SPEAKERS ---------------- Dr. Alfred G. Gilman -- Nobel laureate and head of the Alliance for Cellular Signaling Dr. David Botstein -- Chair of the Dept. of Genetics at Stanford Dr. Adam Arkin -- Assistant Professor of Biophysical Chemistry and Bioengineering at LBL/UCBerkeley IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Poster submission deadline: Sep. 2, 2001 Tutorials Nov. 4, 2001 Technical sessions Nov. 5-7, 2001 SUBMISSION INFORMATION ---------------------- With this announcement we solicit submissions of POSTER ABSTRACTS to the meeting.
