'Emerging tools in quantitative fluorescence microscopy for systems biology', Lisbon, Portugal
4 September 2011 - 4 September 2011
Portugal
A workshop entitled 'Emerging tools in quantitative fluorescence microscopy for systems biology' will take place from 4 to 6 September 2011 in Lisbon, Portugal.
Systems biology relies on the development of new technologies for doing precise quantification of biological processes. Cells continuously process stimuli that they receive from their inside and outside, using interconnected signaling pathways that rely on the dynamical behavior of the macromolecular complexes and the transient interactions of macromolecules.
A major challenge to systems biology is to infer the rate constants, binding affinities, and other parameters of theoretical models from experimental measurement data. Thanks to the engineering of fluorescent probes and the development of novel fluorescence microscopy and spectroscopy methods, microscopic images are becoming increasingly sophisticated. This creates a growing need for novel image analysis, databases and visualization techniques to extract, compare, search and manage the biological information in large image datasets.
This workshop will bring together groups of scientists, students, doctoral fellows, postdoctoral fellows, engineers and other stakeholders to discuss research on quantitative fluorescence microscopy and the recent advances in this field.For further information, please visit: here(opens in new window)
