It is increasingly recognised that a systems approach, involving
computational and experimental scientists, is necessary to understand
the mechanisms resulting in important human diseases such as cancer.
This multidisciplinary approach requires the pooling of expertise from
different laboratories on an international level. The primary aim of this
workshop is to facilitate the exchange of ideas and establishment of
collaborations between computational scientists and biologists from
Germany and China. Scientists from these countries, as well as a few
leading experts from other countries, will present and discuss
cutting-edge computational and experimental systems biology research
methodology and findings concerning cancer research and biomarker discovery.
The purpose of this workshop is to facilitate exchange of
ideas and collaborations between computational scientists
and biologists between China and Germany, by presenting cutting-edge
computational and systems biology research findings on cancer research
and biomarkers discovery.
We anticipate that the workshop will promote:
- Research collaborations in computational systems biology approaches for
cancer research between Germany and China
- Exchange of scientists, especially young scientists, in the field of
computational systems biology between Germany and China
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Computational tools for protein-protein interaction
- Computational approaches to analysis genomics and proteomics data
- Systems biology approaches for cancer biomarker discovery
