1SCP Topological approaches to understand behaviours of complex biological systems

Wed. Sep 28, 2022 1:50 PM - 4:20 PM Room C (Hakodate Arena Budokan C)

Organizers:Atsushi Mochizuki(Kyoto Univ.),Takashi Okada(RIKEN)

It is considered that biological functions emerge from dynamics of complex systems consisting from interactions of many biomolecules. Obtaining logical understandings for behaviors of network systems is strongly required in life sciences. To meet it, a series of mathematical methods have been developed, by which important aspects of dynamical behaviors are determined from the topology of networks alone. They have been applied to real biological systems and have made unique achievements. Recently, we see a series of technical or theoretical progresses, which broaden the scope of applications of the methods. In this symposium, we will introduce topological approaches to the network system, and discuss future perspectives of them.
