Network Physiology is an emerging field that aims to determine how the various organs and physiologic systems within the human body interact. The human body is an integrated network, in which complex physiological systems continuously communicate to coordinate their functions. This is essential to produce distinct physiologic states, such as wake and sleep, rest and exercise, consciousness and unconsciousness. Disrupting the network of organ interactions can lead to dysfunction of individual systems or breakdown of the entire organism (multiple organ failure).

ISINP 2019 will cover a range of physiologic systems from the cellular to the organism level, and will discuss the challenges, current frontiers and future developments in the interdisciplinary field of Network Physiology. The event will provide a forum for developing new methodologies and theoretical framework to address problems in network physiology; to initiate development of new databases of continuous and synchronous recordings of multiple physiological parameters under health and disease (the Human Physiolome); and to promote data-driven discoveries of the basic physiologic laws and control mechanisms that underlay physiologic interactions. ISINP 2019 will address a diverse audience across disciplines from neuroscience, physiology and clinical medicine, to network science, physics, applied mathematics and biomedical engineering.

This summer institute will take place from 29 July till 03 August, 2019 at the Lake Como School for Advanced Studies, Como, Italy
