General Information and Invitation
Despite many remarkable successes in biology, living systems are not well understood compared to ordinary physical systems.
Living matter is very complex and its study needs a multidisciplinary approach including physics, mathematics, chemistry, computer science, and some other related branches of science, in addition to biology.
The 2nd International Conference “Theoretical Approaches to BioInformation Systems” (TABIS2013) will take place in Belgrade, Serbia, from 17th until 22nd September 2013. The first TABIS conference was a success, also held in Belgrade in 2010, with participation of scientists from different fields of theoretical research – computer science, physics, mathematics, biology and chemistry. The objective of TABIS2013 is to bring together scientists from Europe and beyond and provide a stimulating and pleasant environment for exchange of ideas and discussion of results in the genomics, proteomics, cognitive neuroscience and related networks.
It is anticipated that the attendees of TABIS2013 will develop their knowledge and understanding of a broad range of topics within the main themes of the Conference, also including the link with experimental results and applications in real life.
The conference program will contain plenary lectures, invited talks, oral and poster contributions.
Conference Topics include:
Structure and function of DNA and RNA
Structure, function and interaction of proteins
Gene expression and genetic code
Life as information processing
Bioinformatics
Neurons structure and signal porocessing
Data mining and machine learning
Cognitive modeling
Networks: from biomolecules to global systems
