Outline of the "Japan Q-Bio week – force, information, and dynamics"

Objective

The Symposiums aim to bring together biologists using various quantitative approaches to reveal new concepts in cell and developmental biology. We have settled three main topics for our symposium, as you may find in the title of the symposium - force, information, and dynamics. Modern biology has progressed mainly through characterizing gene functions. Now, we believe complementary studies on forces, information, and dynamics are critical to reveal new concepts in biology. Quantitative analysis is a common approach for these emerging fields of biology, and we planned to gather researchers to discuss and share their views and approaches.

Workshops and two Main Symposiums

In the Japan Q-Bio week, we will provide several Workshops before the main symposium during Jan 7th to 8th, 2016, at the Institute of Industrial Science, the University of Tokyo.

At the first Symposium, we will organize oral sessions about three featured quantities and beyond, titled: "Quantity - FORCE -", "Quantity - SYMMETRY -", "Quantity - INFORMATION -", and "Quantities and beyond". We will also have poster sessions with coffee breaks, lunch on the 2nd day, and supper on the evening. In the poster sessions, all general participants may give poster presentations.

At the second Main Symposium at the National Institute of Genetics on Jan 12th and 13th 2016, we will have more interactive sessions with the fascinating researchers in the National Institute of Genetics.

All Workshops and Symposiums are mainly supported by the National Institute of Genetics. Institute of Industrial Science, the University of Tokyo also supports our activity. We also thank to Dainippon Sumitomo Pharmacy for their support.
