Tuberculosis is one of the world’s deadliest diseases, resulting in almost 2 million deaths annually, according to the Center for Disease Control

Advances in experimental technology are providing critical information regarding the interaction between pathogen and host around the globe

Single-cell and high-throughput experimentation are providing more information, more quickly then ever before, about organisms that pose threats to global health

Global networks, whether between researchers or molecules, offer great opportunity for solving health challenges on a global scale.

The Institute for Systems Biology is pleased to present its 9th annual systems biology symposium, Systems Biology & Global Health, to be held in Seattle on April 18 and 19, 2010. The symposium will provide a setting for some of the world's most influential researchers in the fields of global health and systems biology to take part in a dialogue regarding current research/discoveries and their potential impact on human health.

This year’s symposium will feature: Bali Pulendran, PhD, from Emory University Vaccine Center; Rafick-Pierre Sékaly, PhD, from Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute Florida; Paul de Bakker, PhD, from Brigham and Women’s Hospital; Clifton E. Barry, III, PhD, from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases; Douglas B. Young, PhD, from Imperial College London; Michael P. Rout, PhD, from The Rockefeller University; Stephen R.
