The new Network MTBio (Modeling and Theory in the Biosciences) is directed to a fruitful exchange of ideas between experimentalists and theoreticians in order to address the most challenging problems in the biological sciences.

The 1st International MTBio -workshop focuses on structural, dynamical and functional aspects of cellular systems which shall be jointly discussed from experimental, biophysical and biomathematical perspectives within invited talks, workshop symposia and extended poster sessions. The cross-fertilization of experimental and theoretical approaches is the main intention of the workshop.



Workshop symposia:

$\bullet$ Cellular materials: mechanics and motility $\bullet$ Genetics of cellular organization $\bullet$ Dynamical diseases  
$\bullet$ Molecular and cellular evolution $\bullet$ How cells construct an organism $\bullet$ Immunology  
$\bullet$ Metabolic networks and signal pathways $\bullet$ Interacting cell systems $\bullet$ Cells as production systems  
$\bullet$ Decoding protein function $\bullet$ Complex network dynamics     
$\:$  in cellular systems      
         

Symposium organizers and advisory board: W. Alt (Bonn), O. Arino (Pau), M. Bär (Dresden), S. Diekmann (Jena), D. Drasdo (Leipzig), S. Eaton (Dresden), E. Frey (Cambridge), R. Heinrich (Berlin), H.P. Herzel (Berlin), T. Höfer (Berlin), R. Hofestädt (Magdeburg), M. Kirkilionis (Heidelberg), M. Löffler (Leipzig), A. Mikhailov (Berlin), S. Müller (Magdeburg), M. Or-Guil (Dresden), U. Reichl (Magdeburg), W. Schubert (Magdeburg), A. Stevens (Leipzig).
