Goal: The purpose of the conference is to bring together researchers from different areas of biology to discuss with scientists from other disciplines the influence of the molecular biology revolution on current research in biology.  Topics will range from investigating specific molecular players, through pathways, to omics and organisms.

Topics

     • Molecular Machines
     • Cellular Pathways and Mechanisms
     • Intra-and Extra-Cellular Coordination and Communication
     • Genomes and Cell Fate
     • Disease, Cancer and Aging

Program: 

There will be four kinds of sessions: Plenary Talks, Discussions, Poster sessions and Workshops.

Plenary Talks: 45-minute talks will be given by invited speakers followed by a short discussion after each talk.

Panel Discussions: At the end of each day, a panel that includes speakers and mediators will discuss issues related to the topic.The audience will be encouraged to participate.

Poster Sessions: Attendees are encouraged to submit abstracts for poster sessions that will take place every day during the lunch break. Some abstracts will be selected by the Scientific Committee for short presentations.

Workshops:  Appropriate abstracts will be selected by the Scientific Committee for Workshops designed for exploring ideas in theoretical biology.

Extended discussions:  On Saturday March 10 conference rooms in IHES will be available for further discussions.

Parmi les expériences les plus importantes qui testent les prédictions fondamentales ou les aspects troublants de la mécanique quantique, nombreuses sont celles qui ont été menées par des groupes de recherche en France, en particulier ceux qui travaillent dans la région parisienne. En outre, le travail théorique sur les fondements de la mécanique quantique a une tradition de longue date en France qui s’est poursuivie jusqu'à ce jour. Enfin, les problèmes concernant l'unification de la théorie quantique avec la théorie de la gravitation sont activement étudiés par des chercheurs de la région parisienne, notamment à l'IHES. Pour ces raisons, il semble naturel et hautement souhaitable de faire le point sur l'état de l'art dans ce domaine et de rendre compte des grands progrès récemment accomplis.

C’est exactement le but du programme trimestriel de séminaires et colloques décrit ci-dessous qui aura lieu à l’IHES de janvier à avril 2015. Ce programme devrait, nous l’espérons, être utile pour, et intéresser, la communauté scientifique locale.

Le programme, qui réunira des physiciens expérimentateurs et des théoriciens spécialisés en sciences quantiques, se déroulera sur 11 semaines avec un colloque d'ouverture le 29  janvier puis un séminaire hebdomadaire avec des exposés et discussions autour d'un thème précis du 4 février au 1er avril, et, pour finir, un colloque de clôture qui aura lieu les 9 et 10 avril.­ 

Synthetic Biology is heralded as a novel approach to the engineering of biosystems that will set the scene for a flourishing knowledge-based bio-economy. Benefits for the fundamental understanding of biological phenomena are also claimed, as rational construction of a system based on hypothesized design principles can be used to test assumptions. The keywords of synthetic biology are rational design, decoupling of conception and fabrication, standardization and component re-use, modularity and hierarchy, orthogonality and context-insensitivity. However, each keyword raises questions of desirability and feasibility. These questions remain ongoing areas of inquiry for the field and require multi-faceted approaches. Beyond the current hype surrounding it, what is the value of synthetic biology for the progress in understanding of biological systems and for the establishment of new biotechnological production platforms?
