International Conference on Systems Biology (ICSB-2019)

Dr. P K Vinod and his students presented the following papers at  the 20th International Conference on Systems Biology (ICSB-2019) at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST), Japan from 1 – 5 November:

  • Sai Teja Reddy Moolamalla and Dr. P K Vinod – Metabolic Network Modelling of Neuro-Psychiatric Disorders 
  • Prakrati Dangarh, Nishtha Pandey and Dr. P K Vinod – Systems-level modeling of meiosis regulatory network

In systems biology, it has recently become possible to measure genome and transcriptome expression on a large scale with high accuracy using next-generation sequencing and other technologies. We are entering the era of big biological data, including data about proteomes and metabolomes, genomes and transcriptomes. These days, big data analysis is required not only in the field of natural science, but also in various other fields such as machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI).

ICSB is one of the largest international conferences on systems biology. Since the first conference in Tokyo in 2000, which was organized by Dr. Hiroaki Kitano, it has been held annually in different countries. One of the major themes of ICSB 2019 was Systems Biology meets AI

Keynote speakers

  • Hiroaki Kitano, Systems Biology Institute (SBI), Japan who has quickly adopted AI in systems biology
  • Lily Peng, Google, USA who has succeeded in predicting cardiovascular risk factors using deep learning as a pioneer in machine intelligence
  • Dale Webster, Staff Software Engineer, Google, USA who is working to bring automated analysis of Medical Imaging to the world using Deep Learning
