UCIrvine Center for Complex Biological Systems

Fueled by explosive advances in the technology for collecting quantitative, comprehensive data, biologists and biomedical scientists have become engaged in a search for new, more systematic ways to organize and understand the living world. Engineers, mathematicians, computer scientists, physicists and chemists have come together with traditional biologists to forge a new field, Systems Biology, in which life is viewed from the perspectives of complex systems, networks, devices and design principles.

Conference on Dynamics of Layering in Biological Systems
January 15-16, 2010
Pasadena, CA
A challenge for theoretical biology is the development of a paradigm for modeling systems that exhibit spatial layering and are subject to self-organizing processes. These complex systems include microbial biofilms, epithelial tissues, marine mussel beds, and temperate forests, among many others.

The goal of this conference is to bring together experts on a wide variety of biological systems and mathematical sciences to educate one-another on their particular research areas, to discuss similarities and differences in their systems and approaches to modeling, and to share ideas on how they could collaborate from this cross-fertilization.
Travel grants are available for participants (deadline is Nov. 30). Title and brief abstract of presentation must be submitted by Dec 4.
