The Third q-bio Conference: Satellite workshop, Biology on demand: external control of complex cellular systems

Back to The Third q-bio Conference.

The workshop will take place on Aug 7, 2 pm-5:45 pm, as a part of The Third q-bio Conference on Cellular Information Processing on the campus of St. John's College in Santa Fe, NM, USA.

The workshop will explore experimental methods and computational analysis tools needed to control cellular behavior on demand by building phenomenological behavioral models of cells that can be used to predict cellular responses to exogenous perturbations and put limits on ability to achieve such control.

Organizers

John Wikswo (Vanderbilt University) and Ilya Nemenman (LANL).
