This is Satellite Conference of STATPHYS 2007

This conference aims at bringing together experts working at the forefront of statistical physics and biologically motivated problems.

In recent years, molecular biology as well as neuroscience have approached biological systems at a large-scale level, as systems whose peculiar functional properties emerge from the multi-level organization of their heterogeneous interacting units. While we are still far from understanding many collective phenomena in cellular and sub-cellular networks, it is a challenging methodological and conceptual issue to explore the unifying aspects of such phenomena.

The central themes of the conference will be computational and information-theoretic aspects of both theoretical biology and statistical physics. We aim at representing the state of the art in many research fields that in the last years have seen a relevant burst. Topical subjects include (but are not limited to) Reverse Engineering of Gene Regulatory Networks, Metabolic Networks, Integration of Information coming from Biological Networks, Computational Neuroscience Models, Soft Condensed Matter, Machine Learning, Statistical Inference.
