IPCAT 2012 - 9th International Conference on Information Processing in Cells and Tissues

The IPCAT series of conferences began in 1995 as a venue to bring together a multidisciplinary group of scientists interested in modelling the processes that take place within biological cells and tissues. The conferences aim to bring together researchers in both the biological and physical sciences who have a common interest in the nature of biological information processing; whether this interest is for the purpose of understanding biology or for developing new algorithms or engineered systems based upon biological principles. This year's conference will take place in Cambridge, the centre of the UK's software and biotechnology industry.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
Synthetic, executable and computational biology
Natural computation and artificial life
Computational intelligence and machine learning
Neural modelling, neural implants and neural computation
Evolving, adapting, and neural hardware
Autonomous, evolutionary, and biochemical robotics
Artificial tissues and organs
Molecular evolution and theoretical biology
Artificial bio-sensor and vision implementations
Quantum computation in cells and tissues
Modeling of metabolic pathways and responses
Developmental and morphogenetic systems
Simulation of genetic and ecological systems
Biological applications of nanotechnology
DNA, chemical and bacterial computing
Systems biology and bioinformatics
Genome biology and mathematical biology
