Researching the liver – internationally and systematically
At the International Conference on Systems Biology (ICSB) in Göteborg, Sweden, scientists from around the world will be exchanging thoughts and ideas about the latest developments and findings from the field of Systems Biology research on the liver. The special workshop is being organized by HepatoSys, the German competence network for Systems Biology of liver cells.

From a set of formulas to visible changes
A positive evaluation by a European Union brain-trust set the course for the new research network CancerSys. The consortium addresses itself to the systems biology investigation of liver cancer and is expected to begin work early in 2009. CancerSys evolved from HepatoSys, the Systems Biology Competence Network founded in 2004 for the investigation of liver cells, and will expand its work to an international level of collaboration.

In the liver cirrhosis network
Scientists of the HepatoSys consortium, the network for the systems biology study of the liver cell (hepatocyte), have gained new insights into the processes of liver cirrhosis. They found that hepatocytes affected by damage to the liver undergo a mutation and contribute actively to the chronic cicatrisation of the tissue. The findings of researchers working under Prof. Dr. Steven Dooley, Medical School in Mannheim, University of Heidelberg, pave the way to new perspectives regarding the treatment of the hitherto incurable liver disease.

Systems Biology – A Guidepost to the Future
During the second Conference on Systems Biology of Mammalian Cells (SBMC), which took place in Dresden, Germany from May 22nd – 24th, 2008, about 350 scientists from all over the world discussed the latest insights in Systems Biology. They illustrated the great importance of this young scientific discipline, particularly for medical research, which was underlined by the first ever formal assignment of the MTZ®-Award for Medical Systems Biology during the conference on May 23rd. Three junior scientists were honoured for their outstanding dissertations in this field of research.
