BSB 2010 - 3rd International Conference on Bioinformatics and Systems Biology (BSB 2010)

Systems Biology is concerned with the system-level study of complex interactions in biological systems and provides a quantitative systemic approach to understanding complex biological phenomena. On the other hand, the ultimate goal for the understanding and modeling of biological systems is at the synthesis and simulation of biological behaviors and functions, across which Bioinformatics plays an important underpinning role. Recent progresses in Bioinformatics and Systems Biology are extraordinarily exciting and are calling for even broader and further deep-stretching interdisciplinary research and collaboration.

BSB 2010 aims to provide a premier forum for stimulating exchange and in-depth discussion of advances, challenges and emerging areas in Bioinformatics and Systems Biology.
