SOT is featuring a special session this year entitled, "Systems and Computational Biology As Foundations for Toxicology Research." This session is designed to feature eminent scientists who have made seminal contributions and advances in systems and computational biology. The areas this panel will address include the following:
- General concepts of systems biology tools including network mapping and statistical challenges in assuring the validity of network analyses along with the newest tools and approaches for gaining insight into the regulation and function of complex systems;
- Applications of systems biology approaches to studying fundamental biologicval responses such as cell signaling and kinase networks;
- Perspectives on the application of systems networks to biomedical research and particularly for studying disease etiology and prevention;
- Novel applications of machine learning and cell imaging to evaluate subcellular organization and function that inform hypothesis testing and translational details that may be useful in drug development.
Plan to attend. The session is being held at 9:00 AM in Grand Ballroom Co in the Convention Center.
