Outline of the "Japan Q-Bio week – force, information, and dynamics"
Objective
The symposium aims 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 progress 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 planned to gather researchers to discuss and share their views and approaches.
Workshops and two Main Symposium
In the Japan Q-Bio week, we provide several workshops before the main symposiums during Jan 7th to 8th, 2016, at the Institute of Industrial Science, the University of Tokyo.
On the Symposium at the Institute of Industrial Science, the University of Tokyo, we organize oral sessions about three featured quantities and the beyond, titled: "Quantity - FORCE -", "Quantity - SYMMETRY -", "Quantity - INFORMATION -", and "Quantities and beyond". We will also have poster sessions with a coffee break, the lunch time on 2nd day, and with supper on the evening. In the poster sessions, all general participants may give poster presentations.
On the second Main Symposium at the National Institute of Genetics on Jan 13th and 14th 2016, we will have more interactive sessions with the fascinating researchers in the National Institute of Genetics.
All these 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.
