Dates
13-18 September 2008
Location
Hotel Eden Roc, Sant Feliu de Guixols, Spain
The conference will take place in Sant Feliu de Guixols, on the Spanish Costa Brava, 120 km north of Barcelona and 30 km south of Girona. Group transportation will be arranged from/to Barcelona airport and from/to Girona airport, on arrival and departure days.
Final Programme & List of Accepted Participants
BacNet/08 will cover the mechanisms of information collection, integration and implementation in bacteria. Research in the past decades has unveiled the metabolic and regulatory circuitry of bacterial cells in unprecedented detail. This provides an excellent opportunity to analyse the physiology of these organisms on a systems level using quantitative, model-driven approaches. The strength of the meeting is that it will bring together cutting edge research from related but often non-intersecting fields to allow cross-fertilization of ideas and concepts. The meeting will actively involve molecular microbiologists, systems engineers, computational modellers, mathematicians, bioinformaticists and systems biologists. BacNet/08 will present sessions on Development, Global Regulators and Second Messengers, Modelling and Engineering Networks, Microbial Cell Biology and Imaging, Regulatory Networks and Switches, Host-Microbe Interactions, and Cell-Cell Communication, and will feature world-leading speakers in all of these fields
