Quantitative Biology to Molecular Mechanisms
Media Partnership
between Synthetic Biology and Engineering and Quantitative Biology to Molecular Mechanisms
Conference overview
The last decade has witnessed a profound transformation in molecular biology research, fueled by revolutionary technologies greatly enhancing our ability to systematically and quantitatively measure both molecules and cells. The use of genomics, proteomics, and imaging have become routine, generating vast amounts of high-resolution data that characterise biological systems across multiple scales, ranging from molecules to organisms. This technological leap presents an opportunity to describe biological systems quantitatively in order to formulate mechanistic models, find general principles of multi-scale systems, and confront the grand challenge of engineering new cellular behaviors in the face of biological complexity.
Quantitative biology to molecular mechanisms aims to bridge the gap between technologies and scales, serving as a platform for the emergence of ideas and concepts to model complex biological systems. With new horizons in sight, this meeting will provide a necessary reassessment of the scope of “systems biology.” Leaders in genomics, dynamic proteomics, quantitative imaging, and theory will gather to discuss their data and models, transcending their respective fields of expertise.
The conference will feature a unique combination of leading experts in high-throughput biochemistry, single cell, quantitative imaging, quantitative proteomics, theory and synthetic biology, with ample networking opportunities aiming to build and connect an interdisciplinary research community with the ambition to unify quantitative biology beyond technical borders.
In the 2026 edition we will hear from speakers using large scale quantitative methods from different fields (imaging, proteomics, genomics, genetics) and who emphasize how big datasets benefit from rigorous quantitative modeling, a shared challenge for all fields.
Sessions will again be structured around three interconnected themes where systems level approaches in molecular biology research are transforming our understanding of biological systems.
