Goal: The purpose of the conference is to bring together researchers from different areas of biology to discuss with scientists from other disciplines the influence of the molecular biology revolution on current research in biology.  Topics will range from investigating specific molecular players, through pathways, to omics and organisms.


Topics

     • Molecular Machines
     • Cellular Pathways and Mechanisms
     • Intra-and Extra-Cellular Coordination and Communication
     • Genomes and Cell Fate
     • Disease, Cancer and Aging

Program: 

There will be four kinds of sessions: Plenary Talks, Discussions, Poster sessions and Workshops.

Plenary Talks: 45-minute talks will be given by invited speakers followed by a short discussion after each talk.

Panel Discussions: At the end of each day, a panel that includes speakers and mediators will discuss issues related to the topic.The audience will be encouraged to participate.

Poster Sessions: Attendees are encouraged to submit abstracts for poster sessions that will take place every day during the lunch break. Some abstracts will be selected by the Scientific Committee for short presentations.

Workshops:  Appropriate abstracts will be selected by the Scientific Committee for Workshops designed for exploring ideas in theoretical biology.

Extended discussions:  On Saturday March 10 conference rooms in IHES will be available for further discussions.
