Objetivo There is a need to start a European-wide initiative on the Systems Biology of neuronal cells and synapses. In the next few years, systematic data from proteomics and genomics will allow the design of an in silico virtual cell, a model that will have an enormous impact on biomedical and pharmaceutical areas, as it will tribute to a rational design of treatments for human neurodegenerative diseases. The Symbionic Support Action is aimed at putting the issue of the Systems Biology of a Neuronal Cell to the centre of the interest of a wide scientific community, from that of cell and molecular neurobiology and neurophysiology, to that of functional genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, biophysics and computational biology. If properly exploited, this initiative will capitalize the enormous scientific potential in Europe and fill a significant void in the international scientific arena. The Symbionic SSA will integrate knowledge and expertise, will provide a general assessment of the existing data and know-how in several different scientific domains (from neurophysiology to computer science), will trigger the growth of a sensus on the initiative from pharmaceutical, biotechnological and computing industry, will find new strategies for fund rising. The Symbionic SSA, furthermore will integrate its expertise, methodologies, goals and dissemination actions with the ongoing European-wide initiatives on different aspects of Systems Biology: in particular the activities will be carried out in close collaboration with the Eusysbio SSA initiative. This Symbionic SSA will realize its mission by organizing workshops, ferences and training courses on the scientific and technological themes involved, for the growth of a future generation of scientists in a cross-disciplinary area that is still in its infancy.
