Tokyo Symposium at Institute of Industrial Science, the University of Tokyo
Force, Information and Dynamics: X factors shaping living systems
Exploring frontiers of quantitative biology by identifying X-factors that shape living systems
Quantitative biology is a growing discipline goes beyond the quantification of biological phenomena and attempts to unveil fundamental and general principles governing living systems.
After decades of emphasis on the study of GENES to reveal such principles, recent advances in quantitative biology have shed light on other key factors in biology, designated as X-FACTORS. X-factors include FORCE and SYMMETRY, which control the shape, size, and movement of cells and tissues, and INFORMATION, which characterizes processing and transduction of intra- and inter-cellular signaling. Enumerating such X-factors represents a milestone in quantitative biology.
In the Tokyo Symposium, we shall focus on X-factors in biology. This symposium was designed to share and discuss our vision for the frontiers of quantitative biology with cutting-edge researchers from around the world. We expect active discussions on state-of-the-art techniques to measure and manipulate X-factors and on the integration of different X-factors, leading towards a deeper understanding of the nature of living systems.
