Modeling and Simulation of Biological Regulatory Processes ECCB Satellite Meeting October 1, 2003 Ecole Normale Supérieure (Paris, France)

In the framework of the European Conference on Computational Biology (ECCB), we organize a satellite meeting on the modeling and simulation of biological regulatory processes.

The analysis of regulatory networks responsible for the functioning and development of living organisms will much benefit from the recent upscaling to the genomic level of experimental methods in molecular biology. In addition to high-throughput experimental methods, computational approaches for the study of complex regulatory processes are indispensable. The development and application of appropriate methods and computer tools has attracted a growing attention in recent years.

The aim of the satellite meeting is, on the one hand, to provide a forum for computational biologists to discuss available methods and tools for the dynamical analysis of biological regulatory processes. On the other hand, we would like to bring together computational and experimental biologists in order to foster collaborations leading to useful applications of these methods and tools. Although the focus will be on the mathematical and computational analysis of genetic regulatory networks, we also wish to establish links with related work on metabolic and signal transduction networks.

Organized by Hidde de Jong and Denis Thieffry
