Outline of the 5th Annual Meeting

Objective

The Japanese Society for Quantitative Biology (Q-BioJP) is a non-profit organization founded in 2008 that is dedicated to the advancement of the field of quantitative biology.

Sessions

In the 5th Annual Meeting, we organize four oral sessions: "Life and constructive approach", "Life dynamics through statistical time-series analysis", "New field in quantitative biology", and "Robustness in life". We will also have a short talk session. In the poster sessions, all general participants give poster presentations.

Tutorials

This year, we organize, for the first time, a tutorial by an expert in the field of image analysis, aiming toward integrative collaborations between the fields of image analysis and quantitative biology. We also organize tutorials on numerical analysis of modeling quantitative dynamics of life, Next Generation Sequencer and quantitative biology.
