NetBioMed 2022

Leveraging the long-running tradition of two highly successful satellites, NetMed and NetSciReg, in 2020 we introduced NetBioMed as an integrated satellite dedicated to the importance of Network Science in Biology and Medicine. In 2022, NetBioMed will focus on opportunities to decipher phenotypes at an unprecedented level of detail, including at the resolution of single cells and/or for multiple layers of Omics data. Some of the key topics we are targeting include, but are not limited to, methods to consider cellular or phenotypic heterogeneity in network models, methods to consider the spatial context of cellular interactions, the study of phenotypic trajectories using networks, and the relationship between pluripotency, variability and heterogeneity.

This meeting will be targeted to network scientists whose research focuses on biomedical applications as well as biomedical scientists who are interested in learning about how network approaches can be used to study biological or disease systems at the molecular, cellular, or population level.
