    RE: Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing (PSB)
    Call for Papers and Abstracts for the Multiscale Modeling and
    Simulation Session: from Molecules to Cells to Organisms

    Paper submissions due on July 16, 2007


    Dear Colleague,

    This is a reminder for a special session on Multiscale Modeling and
    Simulation of the thirteenth Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing (PSB),
    to be held January 4-8, 2008, on the Big Island of Hawaii. This
    special session is being co-organized by members of the NIH funded
    National Biomedical Computing Resource (NBCR) and an NIH National
    Center for Biomedical Computing (Simbios). PSB brings together top
    researchers from North America, the Asian Pacific nations, Europe and
    around the world to exchange research results and address open issues
    in all aspects of computational biology.

    We are cordially inviting submissions of papers or abstracts that
    will address modeling activities focused on a particular system level
    (such as proteins, cells, tissues, organs, up to organisms) or
    encompassing multiple levels (across the length scale from nanometers
    for molecules to meters for human bodies, as well as across time
    scale from nano-seconds for molecular interactions to minutes, hours
    and years for human life). In order to better understand human
    physiology and to allow for predictive capabilities of disease
    prevention and treatment it is crucial to develop simulation systems
    that can operate at these scales.

    Developing tools, techniques, algorithms, and mathematical theory to
    integrate modeling and simulation from the micro to the macro-scale
    is important in biocomputing. This session aims to foster the
    interactive environment for researchers working on different scales
    of biological problems, so that more collaborations and activities to
    bridge multi-scales will be initiated. Specifically, two aspects are
    emphasized in this session: physics-based modeling and simulation at
    individual different scales, as well as modeling and simulation for
    problems across scales. The topics will cover scales of molecules,
    cells, tissues, organs, up to organisms.

    More on the session topics and submissions can be found at
    http://psb.stanford.edu/cfp-multiscale.html.
    Please note that paper submissions are due on July 16, 2007.

    We hope that you or members of your team will submit a paper. Should
    you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or any of the
    co-chairs of the meeting.

    With best wishes!

    Cochairs: Jung-Chi Liao, Peter Arzberger, Roy Kerckhoffs, Anushka
    Michailova and Jeff Reinbolt
