Abstracts and posters from DigiSal for Digital Life 2018.

Our 2018 DigiSal project meeting is held as a satellite meeting of Digital Life 2018 (https://digitallifenorway.org/arrangementer/digitallife-2018).

Most of DS18 will be spent on breakout sessions to work on upcoming publications. Task leaders will prepare:

* Abstracts to DLN18. (Deadline was 15 Feb.) Presenting DigiSal progress here rather than at DS18 frees up time for the paper preparation sessions.

* Identify two papers in preparation, which will be worked on at DS18: Title, first and

The second project review meeting took place on May 24-25, 2016, at the University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg. This was a theory meeting between the team members to discuss research progress and plans for the project.

The kickoff meeting of CropClock team took place in November 12, 2014 at the Max Plank Institute (MPIPZ, http://www.mpipz.mpg.de/en), Kologne, Germany. The goal for this meeting was for the members of the various teams to get acquainted with each other’s expertise and to discuss the following items: 1) Logistics about the project start, 2) Data that need to be shared, 3) Matlab code that needs to shared among the teams.
The initial plan of action for data sharing was also laid out.

This event is a jointly organized Data Management PALs Meeting that involves PALs from the German LiSyM (Liver Systems Medicine) network and from the ERASysAPP (ERA-Net for Systems Biology Applications) initiative. PALs (Project Area Liaisons) are the front line experts of the data management teams of these projects. They act as data management advocates and help gathering user requirements and testing potential data management solutions. An important part of the meeting will be to gather the
...

The meeting will provide a great opportunity for discussion between modellers, experimentalists and clinicians and to organize and harmonize our future work within the LiSyM network on the grassroot level.

All PhD students as well as all PostDocs of the LiSyM network are kindly requested to register by February 1st

The annual international conference on Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB) is the major meeting of the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB). Over the past 22 years the ISMB conference has grown to become the world's largest bioinformatics/computational biology conference. Joining forces with the European Conference on Computational Biology (14th Annual Conference) ISMB/ECCB 2015 will be the year's most important computational biology event globally.
The conferences

The BBSRC has recently funded the UK Multiscale Biology network, motivated by BBSRC strategic discussions which identified ‘Multi-Scale Biology’ (MSB) as a key area of research and capability that will be at the forefront of bioscience research over the next 5-10 years. The network will aim to:
• facilitate the exploitation of areas of synergy between researchers across the UK in the broad area of multi-scale biology (MSB);
• raise awareness of the benefits of MSB;
• identify areas that are most

Systems Biology is one of the most prominent newly emerging interdisciplinary science areas. By connecting fields such as genomics, proteomics, cell biology, medicine, molecular biology, biochemistry and genetics, with mathematics, bioinformatics, engineering and computation, it enables discovery of yet unknown principles underlying the functioning of living cells. At the same time testable and predictive models of complex cellular pathways and eventually of whole cells are generated, which are
