The 2010 Network Biology 2.0 symposium will address the current state-of-the art in technologies, approaches, and results in the field of network biology which demonstrate network biology’s impact on biomedical research, drug discovery and development, and healthcare. Leading researchers in the field will provide an overview of computational approaches to unravelling complex genetic and molecular networks underlying whole systems disease physiology. The talks will focus on integrative genomics approaches that use multi-dimensional data — from genetic variation, to molecular changes, and then to physiological outcomes. The symposium will also discuss new technologies, such as next-generation DNA sequencing, and explore large scale genetic and ‘omic data collection efforts in relevant model disease systems and human clinical cohorts.  The conference will highlight prominent efforts in academia, industry, and the convergence between academic and industry efforts.

This year’s event focuses on the field of oncology, where a plethora of genomic data is being generated, and where the transition to predictive and personalized medicine is well underway. We will also hold a special session on Web 2.0 applications in medicine, health care, and biomedical research, which are becoming instrumental in addressing the key bottleneck of acquiring data from patient cohorts necessary for network biology approaches.
