ISB's Approach Attracts Global Leaders in Business and Science
The Institute for Systems Biology (ISB) recently concluded its 7th Annual International Systems Biology Symposium, this year focusing on technologies necessary to unravel complex biological systems. This popular event was once again over-subscribed, underscoring the tremendous excitement around systems biology and engineering.
Conference keynote speakers were Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates and Intellectual Ventures President Nathan Myhrvold. Leading scientists from renowned institutions such as MIT, Caltech, Emory, Tufts and Vanderbilt addressed the very latest developments in automated imaging, single cell experimentation, synthetic biology, labs on microchips and nanotechnologies.
Unifying the presentations was the appreciation that understanding how complex biological systems work will enable us to repair them when diseased, or better yet, prevent them from failing in the first place. This is the vision of P4 MedicineTM.
What is it that attracts global leaders in business and science to our small but powerful research facility on the north shore of Seattle's Lake Union to discuss the future and most current advances in technology and systems biology?
The answer is the excellence of our science and the creativity of our approach. Researchers at ISB collaborate on an interdisciplinary level not seen in other institutions. Biologists, geneticists, computer scientists, mathematicians, physicists, engineers and others work together to make discoveries beyond their reach individually. We also believe that critical developments in the life sciences also require critical advances in computational tools and technologies, which enable us to solve some of the biggest challenges in biology and medicine. At ISB, if the technology doesn't exist to solve a biological question, we build it.
- The productive and interactive research environment at ISB is fostered by:
- Recognition of the quality of our research and its impact;
- The engagement and support of global business and scientific leaders;
- Maintaining one of the best scientific work environments in the country;
- Collaborations among ISB scientists and the biotech industry, and
- Innovative science education reform efforts...
...all of which you'll read about in this edition of BIOS.
The investigation of biological networks, how they function and how to repair them, is a voyage of discovery. We invite you to join us on this journey, supporting a team working hard (with a fair amount of fun along the way) to realize P4 Medicine and improve lives around the globe.
