Subject: [CSBi-events] CSBi Symposium - January 12, 2006
Message-ID: <p06100505bfe1a7c1edae@[18.79.4.68]>

Hi,

The annual CSBi Symposia, Systems Biology of Stem 
Cells, to be held on Thursday, January 12, 2006, 
is just a week away and we anticipate filling 
Kresge Auditorium. An exciting list of speakers 
will examine the basic biology of embryonic and 
adult stem cells not only from a molecular cell 
biology perspective but also from a computational 
and systems biology viewpoint.

		Network

A few seats are still available with on-line 
registration 
(https://csbi.mit.edu/website/events/annualsymposium/2006/registration). 
We look forward to seeing you at the talks, 
coffee is served at 7:30 am.

We also thank the many industrial sponsors who 
are supporting the symposium this year, Novartis 
has taken the leadership sponsor position and 
Millenium is a key sponsor. Applied Precision, 
Archivas, Astra-Zeneca, Blackwell Publishing, 
Cellomics, Elsevier, Fujitsu, Sonofi Aventis, 
Singapore-MIT Alliance, and Zeiss are sponsors of

"Adversity, Diversity and the Design for Dynamics and Evolution of 
Cellular Networks:
  From Bacterial Signaling to HIV gene expression"

Friday, February 10, 2006
Maclaurin Building (3-270)
3:00 - 4:00 p.m.
Light refreshments served beginning at 2:45 p.m.

Abstract

In times of adversity or stress organisms are forced to adapt or 
evolve to survive. In either case, the population may diversify its 
response; nongenetically in the former case and by mutation in the 
latter. Diversification may be shown to be an optimal survival 
strategy in certain types of environments and with particular sensing 
capabilities. Here we explore the molecular mechanisms and cellular 
network designs that adapt an organism to its particular niche and 
which control population diversity across the different time scales 
of adaptation and evolution. Using comparative genomics, quantitative 
measurement, and dynamical modeling, we examine the evolution and 
dynamics of particular cellular strategies from B. subtilis stress 
response diversification to exploitation of noise in the HIV gene 
expression program.
