NIH Systems Biology Interest Group

This was a new workshop established with the Trans-NIH Initiative in Systems Biology. The workshop was structured to promote scientific discussion and inform colleagues about work that may be related or complementary to their own research. The half-day session had six 30 minute presentations with each followed by a discussion period. Refreshments were served during the break to encourage informal discussion. All are invited to consider presenting at future workshops.
