Because the corporate support for this year?s event has been overwhelming, we have decided to waive the registration fee for anyone with an MIT ID. Please contact Linda Earle (lkn at mit.edu) for a free code to register on-line (http://csbi.mit.edu) To kick-off the symposium, we are hosting a poster session and reception at 5-7 pm on Tuesday January 30 in the Biology Koch Building (68-180/181). The symposium will take place on Wednesday January 31. A world-class group of scientists will describe the research that leads to the development of small molecule drugs and protein therapeutics. The morning session, "From Systems Designs to Protein Therapeutics" will begin with Jim Wells (UCSF) talking about "Site-Directed Chemistry and Signaling in Caspases". Afterwards, Tillman Gerngross (Dartmouth) will describe how the human glycosylation pathway was introduced into yeast in his talk "Humanized Yeast: A Tool to Dissect the Glycomics Space". The session will end with Bruce Tidor and Doug Lauffenburger (MIT) teaming to present jointly their research on the systems analysis of growth factor recycling and computational engineering of factors with improved efficacy "Therapeutic Discovery in Context: Framing a Bigger Picture". Frank Douglas of the Center for Biomedical Innovation will chair the afternoon session. Liping Zhao (Shanghai) will discuss the systems analysis of Traditional Chinese Medicine treatments "Integration of Metabonomics and Metagenomics for Understanding Human Organismal Level Complexity". This talk will be contrasted by the Western Medicine approaches in "System Level Biomarker Profiles of Drug Treatments for Diabetics/Hypertension" by Aram Adourian (BG Medicine). Finally, the afternoon will end with a discussion of Parkinson's Disease. Susan Lindquist (Whitehead Institute) will describe the research in her lab on the misfolding of alpha-synuclein "Yeast as a Discovery Platform for Neurodegenerative Disease" while Erik Wanker (Berlin) will approach the same disease through a network approach "Generation of Interaction Networks for Understanding Neurodegenerative Disease Processes". For other information you can contact: Linda Earle (lkn at mit.edu).
