Functional Genomics and Systems Biology Workshop

The complete genome sequence of hundreds of organisms has provided the parts list required for large-scale studies of organism, cell and gene function. High-throughput functional genomic technologies are generating enormous amounts of information describing the nature of genes, proteins and their interactions within the cell. Whole genome association studies are providing us with an increasing number or potential disease genes. Through the combined use of computational and experimental techniques, we are beginning to achieve comprehensive mappings of cellular and molecular networks. A major challenge we currently face is how we should integrate these disparate data sources and use them to improve our understanding of biological systems and the molecular basis of disease.

This meeting will provide a forum for discussions on post-genomic science in human and other organisms. Rather than focusing on any particular subject we aim to cover as disperse area of post-genomics science as possible.
