Annual National Centers for Systems Biology “All Centers” Meeting
Annual Centers for Systems Biology Meetings
Each year a Center, or set of Centers, hosts the other National Centers for Systems Biology, and the National Institutes for Health, for an annual meeting.
Joint Center Events

Center for Complex Biological Systems (UC Irvine)
Systems Biology of Stem Cells Symposium
May 24 – 25, 2010, Beckman Center of the National Academies of Sciences and Engineering
The Systems Biology of Stem Cells Symposium is devoted to state-of-the art research at the intersection between systems biology and stem cell biology. Topics will include stem cell genomics and epigenomics; gene regulatory networks underlying pluripotency; feedback regulation of proliferation and lineage progression; and cancer stem cells. A diverse set of experimental, mathematical and computational methodologies will be represented among the featured talks. Meeting activities will include a poster session and a banquet on May 25th. For further information about attending or participating in the symposium, please contact us.
Center for Genome Dynamics (The Jackson Laboratory)
Systems Genetics Research Workshops
Each year the Center hosts workshops designed to maximize information and resource exchange between different disciplines and communities related to systems genetics. The number of participants is deliberately kept small to facilitate interaction. The central theme of the 2009 meeting, for example, was the development of the house mouse as a model for evolutionary genetics, including the study of complex traits, phenotypic evolution, and genetic variation.
Center for Modular Biology (Harvard University)
The Center organizes yearly systems biology conferences and local systems biology activities through the Council of Systems Biology in Boston.
Cells, Circuits, and Computation 2011: Computational Biology in Boston
Friday, January 21, 2011
A day-long conference on computational biology research in the Boston area. There will be two sessions with junior faculty speakers and one session with graduate student speakers selected from submitted abstracts. The conference concludes with a poster session. The keynote speaker is Aviv Regev from MIT and Broad Institute.
Center for Systems and Synthetic Biology (UC San Francisco)
Wednesday, December 14th, 2011, from 9:00am to 6:00pm
Genentech Hall (Byers Auditorium) at UCSF Mission Bay
The UCSF Center for Systems and Synthetic Biology is hosting Synthetic Biology LabLinks. Cell Press LabLinks are free, one-day symposia organized by scientists in conjunction with Cell Press editors. Each LabLinks features local and keynote speakers discussing a unified topic in order to foster interactions between colleagues working on related questions – colleagues across town, across the street, or even across the hall. Seating is limited and registration is recommended. http://www.cell.com/cellpress/lablinks
Speakers include: Gerald Joyce, Christina Smolke, John Dueber, Wallace Marshall, Adam Arkin, Hana El-Samad, Leor Weinberger, Nathan Hillson, David Savage, and Michelle Chang.
The meeting will also feature a panel discussion with Wendell Lim, Jay Keasling, Drew Endy, and Cheryl Kerfeld, entitled ‘Synthetic Biology: Goals, Aspirations, and Implications.’
Biology and Mathematics in the Bay Area 7
Saturday, November 19th, 2011, from 9:00am to 6:30pm
Genentech Hall (Byers Auditorium) at UCSF Mission Bay
The Biology and Mathematics in the Bay Area (BaMBA) meeting is a one-day annual event that takes place in the San Francisco Bay Area. Speakers are leading researchers who discuss applications of mathematics, statistics, and computer science in modern biology. This year’s meeting is sponsored by the Center for Systems and Synthetic Biology, QB3, and SF State University.
Speakers include:
Markus Covert, Stanford
Ilias Tagkopoulos, UC Davis
Hao Li, UC San Francisco
Kimmen Sjolander, UC Berkeley
Arnold Levine, Institute for Advanced Study
The symposium is open to the public and free of charge.

Center for Systems Biology (Institute for Systems Biology)
ISB Annual Symposium. The Symposium is a two-day international event that gathers influential researchers who are transforming biology into an integrative discipline. Past symposia have discussed the relationships between systems biology and human disease, emerging technologies, computational challenges, the cell, and global health. Speakers have presented advances in proteomics, imaging, nanotechnology, high-throughput data analysis, network inference, network structure/function and dynamics, quantitative genetics, immunity, infectious disease, and the genetics and genomics of diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. The 2009 Symposium included the opening keynote from David Botstein, PI of the Center for Quantitative Biology at Princeton University.
Duke Center for Systems Biology
The DCSB organizes an annual symposium each Fall to highlight recent advances in systems biology. The annual symposium also informs the wider community about the rapidly expanding systems biology research efforts both at Duke and as carried out by nearby colleagues in Durham, Chapel Hill, Raleigh, and throughout Research Triangle Park. Approximately 150 people come each year, many from academia, industry and government within the Research Triangle Park region.
The 6th Annual Duke Systems Biology Symposium was held September 29, 2011. Speakers were Boris Adryan (Cambridge, UK), Brenda Andrews (Toronto, Canada), Veronica Grieneisen (John Innes Center, UK), Riitta Lahesmaa (Turku Centre for Biotechnology, Finland), Amy Schmid (DCSB, Duke University), James Sharpe (Centre for Genomic Regulation, Barcelona, Spain) and Uwe Ohler (DCSB, Duke University). The next day the invited speakers and DCSB faculty participated in a workshop on international collaborations.
New Mexico Center for Spatiotemporal Modeling of Cell Signaling
The Fifth Annual q-bio Conference on Cellular Information Processing
August 10 – 14, 2011, Santa Fe, NM
The Fifth Annual q-bio Conference on Cellular Information Processing is intended to advance predictive modeling of cellular regulation. The emphasis is on modeling and quantitative experimentation for understanding and predicting the behaviors of particular regulatory systems, phenomena that manifest themselves in many biological systems, and/or general principles of cellular information processing.
The single-track program will include invited talks from leading experimental and theoretical researchers, as well as contributed talks, poster presentations, and tutorials selected from abstract submissions. The program includes two banquets, tutorials, multiple sessions covering a range of scientific topics, a special session on the social aspects of science, and two evening poster sessions.
