Organized by Professor Walter Kolch of Systems Biology Ireland (SBI), UCD and Professor Nevan Krogan of the Quantitative Biosciences Institute (QBI), UCSF, the QBI/SBI Symposium on Molecular Networks of Cancer and Other Diseases will be held at the University College Dublin from October 16-18, 2023, featuring more than 20 renowned speakers from research and clinical backgrounds in Ireland, the USA, and beyond.

Following a successful virtual symposium in 2020 and an online seminar series between institutes, the aim of this meeting is to bring together health research communities from the USA and Ireland to explore new collaborations and funding opportunities.

Systems Biology Ireland (SBI) investigates new therapeutic approaches to disease, with a focus on cancer at a systems level. We use a combination of traditional wet-lab and computational modeling approaches to understand cellular signaling networks.

The Quantitative Biosciences Institute (QBI, UCSF) fosters collaborations across the biomedical and the physical sciences, seeking quantitative methods to address pressing problems in biology and biomedicine. Motivated by problems of human disease, QBI is committed to investigating fundamental biological mechanisms, because ultimately solutions to many diseases have been revealed by unexpected discoveries in the basic sciences.
