Systems biology uses computational means to reconstruct vital processes from their constituents isolated and characterized by analytical biology. Its focus is on the interactions among components and the resulting emergence of biological organization.

The immune system, in addition its fundamental importance in human health and disease, provides an unparalleled platform for systems biology.

We have invited a cadre of experts to share their research in Computational and Systems Immunology at a symposium at Duke University on 25 and 26 June 2008. So, too, do we invite you, as someone interested in immunology, systems biology, or computational approaches to either one of them, to join us.

The travel scholarship deadline has passed, however abstracts for poster presentations are still being accepted.

Questions may be addressed to Kim Hall (Kim.Hall _at_ duke.edu).
