The symposium is organised by the European Science Foundation (ESF) in partnership with the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO).
It will take place on 9-14 May 2015 at Hotel Eden Roc in San Feliu de Guixols, Spain.

Chaired by: Prof. Victor Sourjik, Max Planck Institute, Marburg, DE

The goal of BacNet15 is to cover most recent advances in key areas of bacterial network research, including information processing and signal transduction, uni- and multicellular behaviour, stress responses, small molecule signalling, cell biology, systems biology and bioengineering. Although it is commonly recognized that a majority of cellular functions are executed by complex networks of genes, proteins and small molecules, our understanding of how these networks operate within the cell is still very limited. Further progress in the field requires a novel combination of interdisciplinary approaches, combining the tools of molecular biology, biochemistry and biophysics with novel high-throughput techniques, bioinformatics and computational analysis.

Application deadline: 8 February 2015
