[Gerlanet] Bacterial Networks' Conference - Final call for applications

[Þórunn Þorsteinsdóttir]

- Final call for applications/papers -


ESF Research Conference on 'Bacterial Networks', Sant Feliu de Guixols,
Spain, 4-9 September 2010

Chair: Urs Jenal, University of Basel, CH
Vice-Chair: Regine Hengge, Freie Universität Berlin, DE

BacNet10 will cover the mechanisms and principles of information
collection, integration and implementation in bacteria. In the past
decades molecular studies have unveiled the metabolic and regulatory
circuitry of bacterial cells in unprecedented detail. This provides an
excellent opportunity to analyze the physiology of these organisms on a
systems level using quantitative, model-driven approaches.

The meeting will actively involve world-leading scientists from different
areas of molecular microbiology, computational modeling, and systems
biology and will include sessions on global regulation, networks and
switches, network modeling and engineering, microbial cell biology,
microbial development, stress response, and cell-cell communication. By
bringing together cutting-edge research from related but often
non-intersecting fields, the meeting will strive for cross-fertilization
of different ideas and concepts of modern-day microbiology.

Young scientists are encouraged to apply for a meeting and travel grant
upon registration.

Invited Speakers will include:
Siv Andersson - U. Uppsala, SE
Judy Armitage - U. Oxford, UK
Dirk Bumann - U. Basel, CH
Stephen Busby - U. Birmingham, UK
