[Biomedical-cybernetics] Call for participants - Systems Biology and Systems Medicine for Precision medicine

[Massimiliano Borsani]

Dear Colleagues,
   There is limited reason to be concerned about an inability to collect vast amounts of (BIG) Data; we are fully capable of this since the genomics revolutions. Data have been and are being collected: databases are full of them. However, neither Medicine nor Biotech is progressing as swiftly as we would have hoped with all those data available.  The progress limitation may reside elsewhere. *Apparently there is more needed than just Data*.
*Systems Biology and Systems Medicine* have brought and *are bringing forward innovative approaches* that are enabling to build bridges between data on the one hand and both understanding and applications on the other.

*This course will highlight those methods*, some of the understanding obtained, and some applications.  This should inspire the participants to become involved in the new and greatly empowered precision medicine and precision biotechnology.

*The second Systems Biology and Systems Medicine School* (2nd SyBSyM Como School - http://sbsm.lakecomoschool.org - September 26-30, 2016 ) at the prestigious “Lake Como School of Advanced Studies” ( <%28http://lakecomoschool.org/>http://lakecomoschool.org/) is *a full immersion course**open to few qualified and selected students and researchers*. *Demonstration sessions* explicating Systems Biology will enable participants to tackle complex networks of life in an operational way. Lectures will underpin these. With its *International lecturers*, SyBSyM provides a stimulating environment to all researchers, academia and industry ones alike.

We are writing to ask you to identify excellent scientists and students that are keen on traveling this new avenue towards precision biotechnology and medicine.

With best regards,
