Driven by million-fold improvements in biotechnology, biology is increasingly shifting towards high-resolution, quantitative approaches to study the molecular dynamics of entire populations. One exciting application enabled by this new era of biology is the "digital immune system". It would work in much the same way as an adaptive, biological immune system: by observing the microbial landscape,...

Australia enjoys a high international reputation for research in experimental genetics, molecular and cell biology, animal and plant sciences, biotechnology, medicine, biodiversity, and ecological modelling. Computational research is broadly established in these domain areas and others relevant to bioscience. Combined with strong traditions in mathematics and statistics, and national and state ...

The recent biotechnology revolution resembles information 1 (Professor of Computer Science, Mathematics, Cell Biology, Courant Institute and NYU School of Medicine; Visiting Scholar, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory; Adjunct Professor, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research; Professor of Human Genetics, Mt Sinai School of Medicine) technology’s early days and promises similarly explosive progress ...

The increasing and rapid development in technologies, infrastructures, computational power, data availability information flow has enabled scientific advances. These entail transdisciplinary collaborations that maximize sharing of knowledge and, consequently, results, possible technology transfer. However, emerging fields it is sometimes difficult to provide all necessary expertise within exist...

LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE T he objective of the WellCharacterized Biotechnology Pharmaceutical (WCBP) CMC Strategy Forum is to provide an environment for the development of technical and regulatory consensus positions regarding topics of interest to WCBP. The January 2005 forum was devoted to a discussion of live virus vaccines and viral vectors used for gene therapy. The purpose of that meeting was ...

Biotechnology is a discipline which explains the use of living organisms and systems to construct a product, or we can define it as an application or technology developed to use biological systems and organisms processes for a specific use. Particularly, it includes cells and its components use for new technologies and inventions. The tools developed can be further used in diverse fields such a...
