| Description: |
During the last years, molecular biology has witnessed a revolution
mainly driven by the progress made in collecting molecular data through
high-throughput methods. However, a simple list of the molecular components
will by far not suffice to understand the way biological systems function.
Rather we have to come to grips with the hierarchical and dynamic organization
of biological systems. In order to achieve a systems-level understanding
of biological systems, quantitative modelling will be crucial, because
biological systems are far too complicated as to be understood simply in
terms of rules of thumbs. With the Max Planck Symposium Systems Biology,
we want to introduce students and scientists from the Berlin-Potsdam area
to recent advances and possible future developments in this field. Moreover,
we want to point out potential areas of common interest between the MPI
of Molecular Plant Physiology (which is focused on systematic investigations
of how environmental conditions determine plant physiology, in particular
plant metabolism) and the MPI of Colloids and Interfaces (which has one
focus on biomimetic systems, including efforts to understand and control
the material properties of biological systems). |
