    3rd Annual Advances in Biomolecular Engineering: Protein Design Symposium

    Organizers: Jin Ryoun Kim (Polytechnic Institute of New York University), Ronald L. Koder (The City College of New York/CUNY), Jin K. Montclare (Polytechnic Institute of New York University) and Vikas Nanda (Rutgers University)

    The New York Academy of Sciences' Physical Sciences and Engineering Program, in conjunction with Polytechnic Institute of NYU and The City College of New York/CUNY, will host a day-long symposium focusing on protein design, a subject that lies at the interface of chemistry, biology, engineering and computer science.

    Tuesday, June 2, 2009 | 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM

    A Systems Approach to Studying Cancer

    Speakers: Andrea Califano (Columbia University), Arnold Levine (Simons Center for Systems Biology), Galit Lahav (Harvard Medical School), Chris Sander (Sloan Kettering Institute)

    This symposium will bring together researchers who are using the tools of Systems Biology to look at regulatory pathways involved in the oncogenic process, combinatorial patterns of mutations in cancers, and the dynamic behavior of proteins involved in the development of, or protection against cancer.

    Wednesday, January 28, 2009 | 5:00 PM - 7:30 PM

    Systems Neuroscience and Brain Circuitry

    Organizer: Guillermo Cecchi (IBM T.J. Watson Research Center)

    This meeting will open a conversation with leading neuroscientists about their own research, and how it pertains to the plausible goals of Systems Neuroscience.

    Edited by Gustavo Stolovitzky (IBM Computational Biology Center, Yorktown Heights, New York), Pascal Kahlem (EMBL - European Bioinformatics Institute, Hinxton, United Kingdom) and Andrea Califano (Columbia University, New York, New York)

    This volume provides an overview of the state-of-the-art in subdisciplines within systems biology.

    Annals

    The Year in Cognitive Neuroscience 2009

    Edited by Michael B. Miller (University of California, Santa Barbara, California) and Alan Kingstone (University of British Columbia, Canada)

    The second volume in a series that provides in-depth reviews of the major issues and emerging topics in cognitive neuroscience.

    eBriefing

    Neural Architecture: Systems Approaches to Brain Structure and Function

    Speakers: Dmitri B. Chklovskii (Howard Hughes Medical Institute), Jonathan D. Victor (Weill Cornell Medical College), and Roger D. Traub (IBM T.J. Watson Research Center)


    The brain is a complex system with many layers and myriad interconnections. Computational strategies have helped reveal its underlying organization and how neural signaling works.

    eBriefing

    Cutting Back on Screen Time: Innovative Discovery Platforms for Drug Development

    Speakers: David Bearss (SuperGen), Randall Peterson (Massachusetts General Hospital), Thomas Chan (ArQule), and Richard Friesner (Columbia University)

    In vitro screens for drug candidates have yielded relatively few drugs. Computer modeling and zebrafish genetics represent two alternative approaches.
