WORKSHOP AIMS
This exploratory workshop aims to bring together researchers working on selected focus topics in biology and experts on quantitative methods. It is devoted to illustrate the research frontier to students and post-docs and stimulate future contacts across disciplines. The biology issues covered on this occasion concern the architecture of the genome in living cells and its complex set of interactions with regulatory and functional elements, including metabolic and protein networks. As a complement to those, a variety of recent examples of applications of quantitative methods to these problems will be discussed.
PROGRAM (preliminary)
10:00 A. Pombo (IC London) "Functional organization of the mammalian genome"
10:45-11:15 coffee break
11:15 M. Caselle (Turin) "Computational identification of micro-RNA targets and post-transcriptional regulatory networks"
12:00 R. Goldstein (Cambridge) "Evolution of Biological Complexity"
12:45-14:00 lunch
14:00 P. Fraser (Cambridge) "Networks of co-regulated genes associate at specialized transcription factories"
14:45 M. Kirkilionis (Warwick) "From molecular interaction networks to macroscopic dynamics"
15:15 I. Carre (Warwick) "Elucidating the transcriptional network controlling circadian oscillations in plants"
15:45 M. Nicodemi (Warwick) "Thermodynamic pathways to genome spatial organization in the cell nucleus"
16:15-16:45 coffee break
16:45 D. Marenduzzo (Edinburg) "Modelling interphase chromosomes"
17:15 M. Turner (Warwick) "Sickle cell disease, an organized pathology"
17:45 Closing
DATE & LOCATION
The Workshop date is May 23rd, 2008, 10am-5:45pm. It will be held at the University of Warwick, Coventry, UK.
