Conference Description<\/h3>\n

The last two decades have witnessed the emergence and acceleration of a new paradigm in mathematical biology, which employs advanced methods in computational algebra and discrete mathematics toward modeling biological systems. The conference on Algebraic and Combinatorial Approaches in Systems Biology (ACSB) has as a core objective, to establish itself as a national forum for the presentation, discussion, and integration of current work in the field.<\/p>\n

The ACSB 2015 will focus on diverse aspects of modeling of molecular networks, in particular gene regulatory networks, with an emphasis on discrete modeling approaches. In addition to models of molecular networks, it will explore questions such as the relationship between network structure and their dynamics. Integration of these topics into the educational curriculum will be discussed as well.<\/p>\n

This conference is a follow-up of the\u00a0Workshop on Algebraic Methods in Systems and Evolutionary Biology<\/a>\u00a0that took place at the Mathematical Biosciences Institute at the Ohio State University in 2012.<\/p>\n

Invited Speakers<\/h3>\n

The following researchers have agreed to participate as invited speakers:<\/p>\n

R\u00e9ka Albert<\/strong>\u00a0(Pennsylvania State University)
\nH\u00e9l\u00e8ne Barcelo<\/strong>\u00a0(Mathematical Sciences Research Institute)
\nShernita Lee<\/strong>\u00a0(University of North Carolina Chapel Hill)

\nBernd Sturmfels<\/strong>\u00a0(University of California, Berkeley)
\nPaola Vera-Licona\u00a0<\/strong>(UConn Health)<\/p>\n

ACSB 2015 will also include a poster session for researchers at all stages along their careers. The organizing committee will solicit and pay particular attention to submissions from faculty at primarily undergraduate institutions, early-career researchers, graduate students, and participants from under-represented groups.<\/p>\n
