The First Annual Alpha Project Research Symposium The

and registration information
for the symposium. About The Alpha Project The Alpha Project is an 5-year, interdisciplinary, multi-institutional collaborative research effort to model and predict the behavior of an intracellular signaling pathway: the yeast pheromone signal transduction pathway. Quantifying how cells sense and respond to various stimuli and creating a model that will accurately predict these responses are the first important steps to understanding diseases and eventually to tailoring precise treatments to each individual. The Alpha Project is the flagship activity of the Center for Genomic Experimentation and Computation (CGEC). The CGEC was created to pursue interdisciplinary projects that will enable broad understanding of cellular and organismic behavior and to work towards making predictive models of biological systems by combining experimentation and computation. In 2002 the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) of the National Institutes of Health designated the CGEC as a Center of Excellence in Genomic Sciences. The CGEC core is at the Molecular Sciences Institute. Participating members of the Center are located at the following institutions: |
