The 2nd annual interdisciplinary symposium, conducted at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), presented the most recent advances in Systems Biology by scientists and researchers who are pioneering 21st century biology. The speakers are leading multidisciplinary investigators who are applying novel computational and technical approaches to understand complex biological systems.
This year's symposium was jointly sponsored by the Proteomics National Center for Research Resources and the Biomolecular Systems Initiative.
Chair of this year's symposium was Dr. H. Steven Wiley, Director of the Biomolecular Systems Initiative at PNNL.
Keynote Speaker was Dr. Lee Hood, President of the Institute for Systems Biology
Four sessions on the importance of spatial and dynamic regulation of cell function through imaging and modeling was held:
