Summit on Systems Biology 2007
Integrative Basic, Clinical and Translational Research
June 5-7, 2007 The second annual Summit on Systems Biology at the historic five diamond Jefferson Hotel in Richmond, Virginia, will provide an interactive, highly interdisciplinary program that offers strategic presentations by leaders in the field. Dr. Leroy Hood, honorary co-chair of the summit and director of the Institute for Systems Biology in Seattle, will lead a panel of academic, industrial and government leaders in a discussion of the future of systems-based approaches to biological and biomedical research. Six scientific sessions will discuss systems approaches to basic, clinical and translational research. For information and registration: http://www.vcu.edu/csbc/systemsbiologysummit/
