Seventh International Workshop on Computational Systems Biology, WCSB 2010
Luxembourg, June 16-18, 2009
Workshop is co-organized by Tampere University of Technology, University of Luxembourg and Institute for Systems Biology.
CALL FOR PAPERS See the attached call for papers.
AIMS AND SCOPE
WCSB aims at bringing together the various communities involved in the different aspects of computational systems biology research, e.g. experimental biology, machine learning, signal processing, mathematics, statistics, and theoretical physics. The scientific program includes invited plenary talks as well as regular sessions with contributed research talks and posters.
CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS
The speciality of WCSB is that the papers of all accepted talks and posters will be published in a special series of refereed proceedings. Therefore, all prospective authors are first asked to submit a title and one page abstract (max. 2500 characters) of their research (see schedule below). Based on the abstracts, the scientific committee will then decide which abstracts can be extended as four page papers in the proceedings.
IMPORTANT DATES
Submission deadline for abstract: January 31, 2010
Notification of acceptance: February 15, 2010
Submission deadline for 4-page paper: March 31, 2010
Submission deadline for camera-ready paper: April 30, 2010
Early bird registration deadline: April 30, 2010
LOCATION AND VENUE
The workshop will take place at the campus of University of Luxembourg.

Sixth International Workshop on Computational Systems Biology, WCSB 2009
Aarhus (Århus), Denmark, June 10-12, 2009
Following the four successful events (WCSB 2006, 2005, 2004, and 2003) hosted by Tampere University of Technology, Finland, and the fifth WCSB event (WCSB 2008) hosted by the University of Leipzig, Germany, the next WCSB event will take place at Aarhus University from June 10th to 12th, 2009.
WCSB aims at bringing together the various communities involved in the different aspects of computational systems biology research, e.g. experimental biology, machine learning, signal processing, mathematics, statistics, and theoretical physics. The scientific program includes invited plenary talks as well as regular sessions with contributed research talks and posters.
Progress in stem cell biology and medical applications
The Conference will deal with the basic concepts of stemness and cellular reprogramming which will be illustrated side by side with the related aspects of reproductive biology. Assisted reproduction will be seen both as source of different types of stem cells as well as target for innovative therapies. Tissue specific stem cells are sometimes seen as an alternative to pluripotent stem cells and the Conference will illustrate progress in two very active field:muscular/cardiac tissue and the central nervous system.
Stresa, Italy 14-16 May, 2009
Organised by Fondazione Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico Mangiagalli e Regina Elena, Università degli Studi di Milano - Centro di Ricerca sulle Cellule Staminali, and Serono Symposia International.

Gentofte, Denmark (28-30 May 2008)
This course is targeted to young investigators and PhD students whose research activity concerns developmental biology, stem cell biology, or the cell biology of diabetes. The objective of the course is to teach participants (i) current knowledge of the control of the state of pluripotency - including differences and similarities between mouse and human ES cells (ii) understanding fetal developmental biology of target organs/cell types in order to (iii) define translational strategies to control ES-cell differentiation towards therapeutic cells of interest in vitro.
Course participants are requested to present their research in a poster format. An abstract form will be sent to selected applicants. Poster abstracts of particular interest will be selected for oral presentations.
The complete program, application forms, travel grant information and practical details are accessible on www.betacelltherapy.org or contact training2008@betacelltherapy.org
