Evolutionary Systems Biology 2018: Early Bird Deadline 16 January

Register by 16 January for the early bird discount. Evolutionary Systems Biology 2018 will provide a forum for scientists interested in applying systems and mechanistic approaches to understand evolution. The programme will feature the evolution of biological systems at different levels: from genes and molecules to organism development and physiology. Particular emphasis will be placed on understanding evolution through mechanistic biology. View the draft programme. The conference will be of particular interest to those working at the interface of evolution, quantitative genetics and systems biology. We welcome abstracts from all areas relevant to the main themes of the meeting, for both oral and poster presentations. A limited number of bursaries are available for PhD students.  Visit the conference website for full details. Topics will include: Fitness landscapes  Systems biology Evolution at one locus Evolution of regulatory networks Evolution of complex traits Variance and noise Non-genetic inheritance SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMME COMMITTEE Ben Lehner  Centre for Genomic Regulation Barcelona, Spain Marie-Anne Félix  Institute of Biology of the École Normale Supérieure, France Patricia Wittkopp  University of Michigan, USA KEYNOTE SPEAKERS Caroline Dean  John Innes Centre, UK Stan Leibler  The Rockefeller University, USA IMPORTANT DATES Early bird discount: 16 January Bursary deadline: 30 January Abstract deadline: 13 February Registration deadline: 13 March CONFIRMED SPEAKERS Christina Burch University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA Maria Colomé-Tatché  Helmholtz Zentrum München, Germany Juliette De Meaux University of Münster, Germany Angela DePace Harvard Medical School, USA      Fyodor Kondrashov Centre for Genomic Regulation Barcelona, Spain    Christian Landry Laval University, Canada  Eric Meyer École Normale Supérieure, France   SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMME  Patrick Phillips University of Oregon, USA  Matt Rockman New York University, USA    Mark Siegal New York University, USA  Aleksandra Walczak École Normale Supérieure, France Daniel Weinreich Brown University, USA     Gaël Yvert École École Normale Supérieure de Lyon, France FULL DETAILS PROGRAMME REGISTER Our 2018 programme  Please download our poster and display it on your office or department's noticeboard!
