Network Science in Biology and Medicine Symposium

Harvard Catalyst is sponsoring a symposium on Network Science in Biology and Medicine on Thursday, June 7, 2012, in the Amphitheater of the Joseph B. Martin Conference Center at HMS.

Symposium: 4:00pm – 6:30pm
Reception: 6:30pm – 7:00pm

The Network Science in Biology and Medicine Symposium will offer an introduction to a rapidly emerging field that combines systems biology and network science by focusing on the identification and investigation of networks of interacting molecular and cellular components. When integrated into biomedical research, network medicine has the potential to transform investigations of disease etiology, diagnosis, and treatment.

Program:

Co-chairs: Joseph Loscalzo, MD, PhD and Marc Kirschner, PhD.

Complex Networks in Biology – Albert-Laszio Barabasi, PhD, BWH

Network Medicine: A New Paradigm for Defining Human Disease and Therapy – Joseph Loscalzo, MD, PhD, BWH
