CCL: Reminder: Syst chem biol & other systems approaches, ACS Meeting 2012

 Sent to CCL by: "Jan  Kuras" [jan.kuras]*[chemistrycentral.com]
 Call for papers: deadline 31 October 2011
 Session title: Systems chemical biology and other "systems" approaches
 in chemistry and biology research
 243rd ACS National Meeting, San Diego, California, March 25-29, 2012 CINF
 Division
 We are accepting submission of abstracts for consideration for an ACS Division
 of Chemical Information (CINF) Symposium on systems-based approaches in
 chemistry and biology research.
 A systems approach to science aims to study complex networks rather than
 isolated entities.  This goal of this symposium is to review recent
 developments in systems chemical biology, systems biology and systems chemistry,
 and examine links between them.
 In systems biology large networks describing the regulation of entire genomes,
 metabolic pathways and signal transduction pathways are analyzed in their
 totality at different levels of biological organization.  The development of
 cheminformatics tools that can integrate chemical knowledge with this biological
 data has created an interest in systems chemical biology.  Systems chemistry
 provides another new research area moving beyond single molecular entities to
 multi-component, multi-functional chemical systems to create new functions from
 molecular components at different hierarchical levels or via molecular networks
 with emergent properties.  The development of these integrated systems-based
 approaches could improve our understanding of complex chemical and biological
 networks in areas as diverse as drug discovery and materials science.
 Presentations will be 25-30 minutes, including time for questions. The deadline
 for submitting an abstract for consideration is October 31, 2011. Abstracts may
 be submitted via: http://abstracts.acs.org.
 Please contact the co-organizers if you have any questions or to discuss a
 paper.
 Thank you,
 Tudor Oprea, Professor Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of New
 Mexico (toprea:_:salud.unm.edu)
