[Todos] XV Giambiagi winter School - Information processing in biological systems - 3rd and final circular

[Giambiagi Winter School 2012]

XV Giambiagi Winter School
Information processing in Biological Systems:

 From cells to equations, and back.

Buenos Aires, Argentina

July 15-19, 2013

Scope of the School

Recent advances in our understanding of biological systems have largely
benefited from interdisciplinary approaches. Physics has played a
fundamental role in this dialogue between disciplines, providing
quantitative methods that allow the precise formulation and testing of
theories.

The central theme of the meeting is information processing in biological
systems. The meeting includes a one week school of several mini-courses,
and a short workshop where young participants will be able to interact
among themselves and with the lecturers. Courses will cover different key
aspects of the proposed theme, such as gene regulatory networks, dynamical
aspects of signaling pathways, molecular noise, the quantification of
information in cellular processes and the physics of the cell. The school
will provide students with an accessible and contemporary view of the most
interesting questions in the field, and introduce them to the some of the
experimental and theoretical approaches used to answer these questions, and
the tools used to comprehend the complex dynamics of cellular behavior. In
summary, the school will bring students closer to these themes and to the
tools necessary to tackle a variety of questions of great interest.
