Newswise — The Council for Systems Biology in Boston (CSB2) is excited to announce that registration is now open for the 2010 International Conference on Systems Biology of Human Disease. This three-day conference (June 16-19) will focus on mammalian systems biology, particularly as it applies to human disease and therapy. In addition to talks by invited speakers, SBHD will include two poster sessions and additional talks selected from submitted poster abstracts. The conference will take place at The Joseph B. Martin Conference Center on the campus of Harvard Medical School.
“This year’s conference will continue to be a focal point for collaboration among researchers and thought-leaders around the world. The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research has partnered with us to enhance European participation in the conference and we look forward to hosting leading researchers from Germany at this year’s conference,” said Peter Sorger, Ph.D., Professor of Systems Biology at Harvard Medical School’s Department of Systems Biology.
The speakers for the 2010 conference include:Gary Churchill – Jackson LaboratoryPéter Csermely – Semmelweis UniversityGaudenz Danuser – Harvard Medical SchoolAnne-Claude Gavin – EMBL HeidelbergThomas Höfer – DKFZ HeidelbergAlexander Hoffmann – University of California, San DiegoAndrew Hopkins – University of DundeeAdi Kimchi –Weizmann InstituteUrsula Klingmüller – DKFZ HeidelbergEdda Klipp – Max Planck Institute for Molecular GeneticsLucas Pelkmans – ETH ZurichPardis Sabeti – Harvard UniversityDennis Vitkup – Columbia UniversityStevenWiley – Pacific Northwest National LaboratoryJochenWittbrodt – Heidelberg Institute of ZoologyRamnik Xavier – Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School

The Council for Systems Biology in Boston builds local, regional, and national links between academic and industrial laboratories active in the areas of systems and computational biology.
CSB2 sponsors two annual meetings, coordinates lectures, awards short-term visiting studentships and fellowships (1-6 months), and promotes inter-lab exchanges between industrial and academic groups.
CSB2 is made possible in part by support from the Systems Biology Program at the National Institute of General Medical Science (GM68762), the National Cancer Institute’s ICBP Program (CA112967), the Harvard Department and Center for Systems Biology and the Biological Engineering Department
