Systems and Quantitative Biology: Drugs and Small Molecules

The integration of computational analysis with novel, high-throughput experimental approaches advances the understanding of molecular mechanisms of human diseases, biological functions of small molecules, and drug-target interactions. This session will highlight progresses in systems and quantitative approaches with topics including but not limited to: use of cutting-edge technologies to characterize complex molecular interactions; mathematical models to predict treatment responses and dynamic behaviors of biological systems; metabolic network analysis; quantitative approaches to disease mechanisms and therapies; rapid and high-throughput approaches for small molecule analysis and detection. This session is cosponsored by Engineering Fundamentals in Life Sciences (15D/E).
