BIBM 2013 - Intermational Workshop on Biomolecular Networks and Human Diseases

Now it is widely acknowledged that genetically inherited diseases or disorders (e.g., cancer, AIDS, obesity) stems from the dysfunction of molecular biological systems, not only their isolated components (e.g., genes, proteins, metabolites). Molecular biological systems typically include gene regulatory networks, protein-protein interaction networks, metabolic networks, and signal transduction networks. With advances in high throughput measurement techniques such as microarray, ChIP-chip, yeast two hybrid analysis, and mass spectrometry, large-scale biological data have been and will continuously be produced. Such data contain insightful information for understanding the mechanism of molecular biological systems and have proved useful in diagnosis, treatment, and drug design for genetically inherited diseases or disorders.
Topics
For this workshop, we strongly encourage authors to submit their original studies in modeling/construction, analysis, synthesis, and control of disease-related biomolecular networks. Possible topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:
Biomolecular network modeling/Construction
Prediction of disease-causing molecules from biomolecular networks
Dynamic analysis of biomolecular networks
Identification of drug targets from biomolecular networks
Parameter estimation of nonlinear dynamic molecular systems
Controllability and observability of biomolecular networks
Specific disease-related molecular networks
Disease-related protein complex or functional module detection
Application tools for biomolecular network visualization and analysis
