Call for Abstracts Deadline: June 26, 2015 Regulation of metabolic activity in response to environmental and genetic perturbations is fundamental to the growth and maintenance of all cells. Linking the genome to its functioning metabolism is therefore of substantial interest in diverse biological research areas ranging from cancer to industrial biotechnology. To this end, Constraint-Based Reconstruction and Analysis (COBRA) is rapidly being established as the method of choice for studying cellular metabolism in a global and unbiased fashion. COBRA 2015 aims to bring together the worldwide COBRA community to discuss novel tools and emerging applications. If you are engaged in the Constraint-Based Reconstruction and Analysis community you must consider submitting. Submissions should be related to the following areas: New metabolic models and simulation algorithms Omics and phenotypic data integration Biomedical applications of metabolic modeling Microbial cell factories Multi-scale modeling (whole cell models, host pathogen interactions and microbial communities) Keynote Speakers Jens Nielsen, Chalmers University Bernhard Palsson, UCSD Invited Speakers Iman Famili, Intrexon Vassily Hatzimanikatis, EPFL Costas Maranas, Penn State Balazs Papp, Biological Research Centre of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences Jennifer Reed, University of Wisconsin Isabel Rocha, MIT Portugal Eytan Ruppin, Tel Aviv University Uwe Sauer, ETH Zurich Daniel Segre, Boston University Ines Thiele, University of Luxembourg Organizing Committee Kiran Raosaheb Patil, EMBL, Heidelberg, chair Jason Papin, University of Virginia, Charlottesville Ines Thiele, Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine, Luxembourg Nathan Price, Institute for Systems Biology, Seattle Markus Herrgård, NNF Center for Biosustainability, Denmark Tomer Shlomi, Technion, Haifa
