Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Consortium Workshop
The first Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Consortium Workshop was held Sunday, October 23, following the International Conference on Systems Biology (ICSB) in Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
The aim of the workshop was 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 included presentations by current Consortium members and other interested investigators, followed by an extended discussion. Read the workshop report for more information.

More than 80 scientists from throughout the world attended the October workshop, which included presentations by 10 scientists from the U.S., U.K., Germany, and Japan on work related to the systems biology of RTK signaling (see the program). Steven Wiley, PNNL chief scientist, and member of the Consortium's Executive Committee, gave a talk entitled “The EGFR system couples cell response to context.” After the workshop, Wiley chaired the members-only session.
