Sessions

There will be more than 20 parallel sessions that will involve invited chairs and numerous presentations selected from the abstracts of meeting participants.  The sessions will centre on topics involving systems biology approaches to next generation sequencing, genetic networks, computational tools and algorithms, chemical biology, personalized medicine, plant sciences, protein interaction networks, protein engineering, gene expression, modelling and experimental design, and others. 

 

Inspiration 

In addition to the science program, we will offer creative inspiration on other levels.  We’ve planned a number of musical events with international artists, a poster session with a beer tasting from some of the finest Canadian microbreweries, a conference dinner at the picturesque and eco friendly Toronto Brickworks, and much more. ICSB 2012 will close with an optional trip to one of the seven nature wonders of the world - Niagara Falls. Come and join us to make this a most meaningful opportunity!
