Joint Receptor Tyrosine Kinase (RTK) Consortium & British Society for Proteome Research/European Bioinformatics Institute Workshop

Hinxton Hall Conference Centre
Cambridge, UK
23-24 July 2007

Proteomics and Phosphoproteomics of RTK Signaling Networks

Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are central components of cell signaling networks and play crucial roles in cellular processes, such as embryogenesis, cell proliferation, differentiation, metabolism, survival and cell death. However, it is difficult to gain in-depth understanding of RTK networks because of their enormous complexity and multiplicity. Systems biology, including quantitative proteomics of protein modification, provides novel and promising approaches to improve our understanding of RTK networks.

This workshop is held under the auspices of the RTK Systems Biology Consortium, whose goal is to encourage the application of Systems Biology for quantitative analyses of RTK signaling networks and to develop predictive models, with particular emphasis on pharmacological applications. The aim of the workshop is to give an overview of current developments in this area and to explore new frontiers by promoting the interactions between biological experimentalists and the computational and bioinformatics communities.

The meeting included presentations by leaders in the field and the opportunity for interdisciplinary discussions. The workshop was held jointly with the British Society for Proteome Research and European Bioinformatics Institute and immediately precedes their annual meeting "Integrative Proteomics: From Molecules to Systems."
