2nd Annual Duke Systems Biology Symposium
The Duke Center for Systems Biology and the Duke Institute for Genome Sciences and Policy announce the 2nd Annual Duke Systems Biology Symposium, to be held on the campus of Duke University on Thursday and Friday, 20-21 September 2007. Attendance is free and open to all, but registration is required for our planning purposes.
Confirmed Speakers
We are delighted to have the following accomplished scientists visiting us as guest speakers:
- Martha Bulyk, Harvard University
- Andre Levchenko, Johns Hopkins University
- Olivier Pourquie, Stowers Institute
- Stanislav Shvartsman, Princeton University
- Steven Small, New York University
- Marian Walhout, University of Massachusetts, Worcester
These guest speakers will be complemented by three researchers from the Duke Center for Systems Biology, recently chosen as an NIH/NIGMS National Center of Excellence in Systems Biology:
- Uwe Ohler
- David McClay
- Sayan Mukherjee
Poster Submission
Attendees are welcome to present a poster at the poster session on Thursday evening. During the first week of September, we will select a few posters to be presented as short platform talks. If you wish for your poster to be considered for a platform talk in addition, please register before September 7 and indicate your interest on the registration form.
Schedule (last updated 20 September)
All talks will take place in Love Auditorium, Room B101 in the Levine Science Research Center (LSRC). The poster session will take place in the lobby of the new French Family Sciences Center (FFSC). The closest garage for daytime parking is Parking Garage IV, between the student center (Bryan Center) and French (FFSC).

Registration
Attendance at the symposium is free and open to all, but registration is required for our planning purposes. Please register here. Unfortunately, free registration and food means that we unfortunately cannot help with travel or housing arrangements for attendees.
