Computational Cell Biology is an emerging interdisciplinary field that responds to the need for computational methods to analyze and organize the massive amount of biochemical and biophysical experimental data on the structure and function of the cell. Computational modeling in concert with experimental analyses allows the development of testable, quantitative hypotheses of the molecular mechanisms that drive cellular events. The Symposium for Computational Cell Biology provides a unique opportunity for cell biologists who are interested in computational approaches to interact with theoreticians and computer scientists who are developing computational modeling applications for cell biological processes. The scientific focus of the meeting is on areas of cell biology for which modeling approaches are currently being developed, or that are ripe for computational modeling approaches. Topics at the meetings will encompass a range of cellular mechanisms including regulation of the cytoskeleton and molecular motors, membrane and protein trafficking, regulation of calcium dynamics, signal transduction pathways, and cell cycle control.
