DEADLINES: Contributed Talks: August 16, 1999 Posters: November 1, 1999

CONFERENCE VISION:
Completion of the human genome sequencing project will mark a change in the focus of quantitative studies of genomic information from the gathering and archiving of genomic data to its analysis and use in prediction and discovery. This symposium is intended to provide an international forum for provocative discussions debating the current state-of-the-art and envisioning future directions for the application of quantitative science to sequence-to-function paradigms in biology. The workshop will target the training and exposure of developing interdisciplinary scientists to the many new challenges beyond genome sequencing, and to varied approaches to pursuing scientific careers at the interfaces between the physical, chemical, and computational sciences and the biological sciences.

SYMPOSIUM:
1/13/00 - Folding the Genome(s)-Sequence to Structure and Beyond (Presenters: David Eisenberg, Wayne Hendrickson, Sung-Hou Kim, Gaetano Montelione, Greg Petsko, Chris Sander, Shoshana Wodak)
1/14/00 - Understanding the Genome Structure(s) and Their Connection to Function (Presenters: William Eaton, Alan Fersht, Susan Marqusee, John Moult, Peter Wolynes)
1/15/00 - Exploring Tomorrow's Landscape-From Atomic Details to Molecular Networks (Presenters: Steven Chu, Chris Dobson, Harry Gray, Klaus Schulten)

WORKSHOP:
1/11/00 - Exploring Genomic Sequence to Function (Presenters: Lorena Beese, Tracy Handel, Andrej Sali)
1/12/00 - Understanding the Fundamentals of Structure, Function, and Folding (Presenters: Robert Dickson, Martin Gruebele, Leslie Kuhn, Vijay Pande, Douglas Tobias)
