General Information
The 8th International Conference on Systems Biology and the 4th Translational Bioinformatics Conference (ISB/TBC 2014),
organized by Chinese Academy of Sciences and Qingdao University will be held in Qingdao, China, October 25-27, 2014. The
conference is sponsored by National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), Academy of Mathematics and Systems Sciences
of CAS (AMSS), Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences of CAS (SIBS), Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess
Technology of CAS (QIBEBT), Qingdao University, Computational Systems Biology Society of ORSC, Systems Biology Technical
Committee of IEEE SMC Society, Korean Society for Bioinformatics and Systems Biology (KSBSB), The Korean Society of Medical
Informatics (KOSMI), Korean Genome Organization (KOGO).
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 ISB conferences series from 2007, the purpose of ISB/TBC 2014 is to extend the international forum
for scientists, researchers, educators, and practitioners to exchange ideas and approaches, to present research findings and
state-of-the-art solutions in this interdisciplinary field, including mathematical methods and its applications in
biosciences and researches on various aspects of Systems Biology, such as integration of genome-wide microarray, proteomic,
and metabolomic data, inference and comparison of biological networks, and model testing through design of experiments.
Language
The working language of the conference will be English.
Call for Papers
The purpose of ISB/TBC 2014 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 and Translational Bioinformatics. Themes of the ISB/TBC 2014 will be
interdisciplinary by its nature and focus on bridging opportunities between mathematical methods and Systems
Biology/Translational Bioinformtics studies. We are particularly interested in submissions that report on theoretical,
experimental and applied research motivated by systems biology and translational bioinformatics 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

All submissions will be rigorously peer reviewed and evaluated on the quality, originality, soundness, and significance of
their contributions. Original research papers are solicited in all aspects of Bioinformatics, Systems Biology, Synthetic
Biology and Computational Biology, including but not limited to the above topics.
The papers presented at the conference will be published on the IEEE Xplore, and submitted to EI Compendex for consideration
for indexing.
The selected papers are going to be published on the special issues of SCI indexed journals such as JAMIA (J Am Med Inform
Assoc), Journal of Biomedical Informatics, BMC Medical Genomics, IET Systems Biology, BioData Mining, Healthcare Informatics
Research.
