Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Consortium Workshop
Register now for the Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Consortium Workshop that will follow the International Conference on Systems Biology (ICSB) Sunday, October 23, 9:00 to 13:15 in Boston, Massachusetts, USA
Location: The Rotunda Room, Harvard Medical Conference Center
Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are central components of cell signaling networks and play crucial roles in normal physiological processes, such as embryogenesis, cell proliferation, and cell death. However, it is difficult to gain in-depth understanding of RTK networks because of their enormous complexity and multiplicity. Systems biology provides novel and promising approaches to improve our understanding of RTK networks.
This workshop is held under the auspices of the RTK Regulatory Networks Consortium. The goal of the Consortium is to encourage the application of Systems Biology for quantitative analyses of RTK signaling networks and to develop predictive models, with particular emphasis on interception by pharmacological agents. The organizational meeting of the RTK Consortium was held at RIKEN Genomic Sciences Center in Yokohama, Japan on January 17-19, 2005.
The aim of the workshop is to inform the systems biology community of the RTK Consortium's goals and to elicit the community's input to develop an effective agenda for implementing these goals. The meeting will include oral and poster presentations by current Consortium members and other interested investigators, followed by an extended discussion.
The registration is now closed.
