International Workshop on Timing and
Dynamics in Biological Systems
September 27 - October 01, 2010
Scientific Coordinators:
Felix Naef (EPFL SV ISREC UPNAE, Lausanne, Switzerland)
Andrew Oates (MPI of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics, Dresden, Germany)
Jörg Stelling (ETH Zürich, Basel, Switzerland)
Organisation:
Mandy Lochar (MPIPKS Dresden, Germany)
Biological rhythms attracted theorists long before the molecular era
of modern biology, and important contributions from theoretical
or geometrical reasoning. However, there is still remarkably little understood
about how complex and stochastic dynamics of underlying molecular and
cellular processes translates into temporally ordered macroscopic behavior. The coupling of biological oscillators provides an additional
layer of rich phenomenology. This workshop aims to bring theorists and
experimentalists together to learn about new conceptual and technical
developments, to foster a common language, and to build bridges between
experimental data on timing and theoretical explanations and methods. The
workshop will focus on trying to identify principles of timing that are general
biological strategies, regardless of the model system or the absolute
timescale.
