ISB 2010 Call for Papers -- http://www.aporc.org/ISB/2010/
(Deadline for electronic submission of contributions: May 1, 2010)

The 4th International Conference on Computational Systems Biology (ISB 2010) will be held in Suzhou, China from September 9 to 11, 2010.

Systems Biology and Bioinformatics have become intensive research topics in the recent past decade and attracted great many leading scientists working in Biology, Physics, Mathematics and Computer Science. Optimization, Statistics, and many other mathematical methods have been widely used in the field.

Following the successful OSB 2007-2009, the purpose of ISB 2010 is to provide an international forum for scientists, researchers to exchange ideas and approaches, including theoretical methodology development and its applications in biosciences and researches on various aspects of Computational Systems Biology. Themes of the ISB 2010 will be interdisciplinary by its nature and focused on bridging opportunities between mathematical methods and Systems Biology studies. We are particularly interested in submissions that report on theoretical, experimental and applied research motivated by systems biology problems. Typical, but not exclusive, topics of interest are:

* Gene Regulatory Networks
* Protein Interaction Networks
* Metabolic Networks
* Signaling Networks
* Comparative Genomics
* Functional Genomics
* Metagenomics
* Genome-Wide Association Study
* Promoter Analysis and Discovery
* Biomarker Identification and Drug Discovery
* Evolution and Phylogenetics
* Non-coding RNAs
* Proteomics
* Protein Structures and Functions
* Microbial Community Analysis
* Qualitative Analysis of Biological Systems
* Quantitative Models of Cellular and Multi-Cellular Systems
* Designing and Modeling Synthetic Biological Systems
* Nonlinear Dynamics and Analysis of Biological Systems
* Designing Synthetic Biological Circuits
* High Performance Computing for Biological Data Analysis
* Data Mining and Machine Learning for Biological Data
* Information Theory and Statistical Analysis
* Systems Biology of Cancer and Metastasis
