COVID19 update: This conference will take place in September and we will announce the format soon.
NetBioMed2020 is a satellite of NetSci2020, the international conference on network science. Building on a long-running tradition of two separate satellites devoted to network science applied to modelling in biology (NetSciReg) and network medicine (NetMed), this 2020 edition will have as a central theme the importance of mechanistic network models in disease. The hype about BigData and artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine should not make us forget that mechanistic models are key to understanding the biological processes underlying disease.
Importantly, networks are key elements of biological models, be they gene regulatory networks, cell-cell interaction networks, or multi-scale integrative networks.
This meeting is targeted to researchers in the network science field interested in biomedical applications and also to biomedical scientists who are considering network approaches for studying and modelling disease, at either the molecular, cellular, or population level.
Submission Guidelines
We cannot accept oral presentations from invited speakers at the main NetSci conference. Abstract submission has been extended to July 10th. The best abstracts will be selected for oral presentation and a few for poster presentation.
