A particular problem faced by modellers is that of choosing the most appropriate scale, or level of abstraction, for their model, especially given that there may be different important features at each scale. For example, in an epidemiological model, we might wish to describe the way in which individuals interact. Alternatively, we might be more interested in the analysis of population level features, making ordinary differential equations more appropriate. The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers working on techniques which allow exploration of models spanning a range of scales, especially those in which the different scales are rigorously related. At Stirling, we are interested in modelling techniques such as Process Algebra that allow large scale properties to emerge from small scale behaviour. We would welcome contributions using other techniques. We also particularly welcome biologists interested in how this sort of modelling across scales can help them understand their system. CONFIRMED INVITED SPEAKERS Modelling and analysis of biological systems using process calculi Federica Ciochetta (The Microsoft Research - University of Trento Center for Computational and Systems Biology) Data Driven Network Modelling for Epidemiology Eiko Yoneki (Computer Laboratory, University of Cambridge) LOCATION The workshop will be held at the Stirling Management Centre, in central Scotland.

Understanding the workings of stem cells is now seen as essential to the progress of regenerative medicine, tissue engineering and cancer therapeutics. Recently, there has been a growing awareness that the behaviors of stem cells emerge out of the highly complex interactions of dynamic networks of gene regulation and proliferative control. The need to describe, predict, and ultimately understand such interactions is drawing ideas and investigators from the field of systems biology into stem cell biology. We have organized a symposium devoted to state-of-the art research at the intersection between these two fields. Topics will include stem cell genomics and epigenomics; gene regulatory networks underlying pluripotency; feedback regulation of proliferation and lineage progression; and cancer stem cells. A diverse set of experimental, mathematical and computational methodologies will be represented among the featured talks. Meeting activities will include a poster session and a banquet for all attendees. We would be grateful if you could bring this meeting to the attention of any colleagues who may be interested. Please refer to our on-line website, http://ccbs.bio.uci.edu/StemCell. Registration is now open. Organizing Committee Arthur D.
