v-Tissues™ Navigation
The First International Workshop on Virtual Tissues: v-Tissues 2009, held April 21-22, 2009, at the EPA Campus in RTP, NC
Sponsored by EC-US Joint Task Force on Biotechnology
Hosted by U.S. EPA's National Center for Computational Toxicology
EPA Campus, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, USA
April 21-22, 2009
Workshop Objectives
The workshop will bring together academic, government and industry experts from the United States (US) and the European Union (EU) to: (a) discuss key biological and computational challenges in applying v-Tissues™ for chemical-induced toxicity, and (b) to highlight synergies and gaps between US and EU projects. The key topics include:
- Case studies on target organs: liver, development, immune system and lung
- Data requirements for v-Tissues™ applications: Large-scale data sets including, -omics, in vitro high-content screening (HCS) and high-resolution in vivo imaging
- Cross-scale computational approaches: simulating biological process at the molecular, cellular and tissue levels.
Participation
The workshop is open to scientists in academia, industry and government, as well as graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. Registration is required as seats are limited.
