The 8th International Conference on Systems Biology (ISB)
The 4th Translational Bioinformatics Conference (TBC)

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
    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
    Brain Systems Biology
    Systems Neuro-Informatics
    Systems Biology of Development
    Next Generation Sequencing for Personal Genomics, Cancer Genomics and Metagenomics
    Rare and common variants of human genome
    Epigenomics, non-coding RNAs, and DNA methylation analyses
    Genome-Phenome-Envirome Network Analysis
    Microarray analysis and functional genomics for disease
    Biomarkers, Drug Discovery and Pharmacogenomics
    Biomedical Text/Data Mining and Visualization
    Network Biology/Medicine and Pathway/Regulation Analysis
    Biomedical Intelligence, Clinical Informatics, and Health Record
    Semantic Biology/Medicine and Biomedical Ontologies.

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.
