Symposium on Mathematical Biology 2004
The 14th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society for Mathematical Biology

September 22-25, 2004, Hiroshima University



Organized Session


September 23, Thu., 15:00 --17:30

"Networks and Fluctuations in Cellular Systems"

   
organizers: Tatsuo Shibata (Hiroshima University)



In recent years, as the genetic and biochemical informations within cells increases,  it has become clear that molecular biology is facing a new challenge: to move from the description of individual components and their interactions towards system analysis.  For such an analysis, we need a new vocabulary that contains concepts to describe "collective phenomena'', which is given rise to by the interactions of biomolecules.  In particular, what kind of general principles governthe biological systems, which have been "designed'' in the evolutionary process? In this symposium, we will discuss the new ideas of these challenges.
