The 10th BioPathways meeting is organized by the BioPathways Consortium, an open forum aimed at fostering computational approaches to the understanding of biological networks in biotechnology and biomedicine.
Previous BioPathways meetings have focused on a variety of themes, such as computational reconstruction of molecular networks, pathway evolution, integration of models and experiments, models and ontologies for pathways, modeling of interactions and regulation on a systems scale and network approaches for discovering disease associations, among others
This year's meeting will remain within the broad spectrum of computational and semantic approaches for molecular network analysis and systems modeling, featuring also presentations on pathway analysis tools, metabolism, signaling or regulation, selected from the most notable recently published work or from yet unpublished work. In addition, one session each will be dedicated to the three specific thrusts, namely,
Brief descriptions of the scope of each of these themes are available at the BioPathways site (www.biopathways.org). As customary, the meeting will consist of two full days with a balance of invited talks, short oral presentations, and critical, topic-focused panel discussions. We strongly encourage the presentation of work-in-progress in cutting-edge research.
If you wish to present a contributed talk at BioPathways 2009, please send a 250-word abstract describing your work. Authors are encouraged to add URLs of web-based tools, and selected tools will be featured on the BioPathways web site. Abstracts should arrive by June 1, 2009, and presenters will be notified no later than June 15, 2009. Submissions should be sent to: BioPathways@Helmholtz-HZI.de
