  1. A series of speakers sharing their ground breaking Science and their journeys as women in a predominantly male subject area. WOMEN IN BIOINFORMATICS SEMINAR SERIES April 03, 2009 Time:3:00pm Place: EPS 126 Tarynn M. Witten, Associate Professor, Biocomplexity and Emergency Medicine, Director of Research & Development, Center for the Study of Biological Complexity, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA Networks, Systems and Biocomplexity – What Networks Can and Cannot Tell Us Abstract: For the bulk of the history of biology and biomedicine, reductionism was the principle mode of investigation. While Ecologists caught on to the idea of systems in the late 1800's, Systems Biology, as a discipline, has not really emerged until the past decade when "omic hierarchical" data became readily available in online databases and through various for sale databases. In today's presentation, we will examine the idea of networks from assorted persectives and address the question of "What can networks tell us anyway?" Examples will be drawn from a variety of organisms and disciplines. Sponsored by: MSU NSF/Advance Leadership Grant, NIH/INBRE, Office of the VP of Research, and NIH/National Library of Medicine & National Cancer Institute, R13 award to M. A. McClure, contact: x7370 if you would like to meet with a speaker.
