Biological Physics Mexico City 2019

06-09-2019 to 04-09-2019


Frontier Science at the Intersection of Physics, Math and Biology

The BioPhys Mexico City 2019 conference, the third in a biennial series, is intended as an international, multidisciplinary scientific forum to discuss the latest developments in biological physics, including experimental, theoretical and computational methods, from a single molecule perspective to complex multi-component environments.

The conference is expected to boost the new paradigm of interdisciplinary approaches converging into specific problems in biological physics. Hence, the conference audience is broad: We aim to attract the attention of biologists as well as biochemists, organic chemists, engineers, computational scientists, physicists, and mathematicians. The venue is highly convenient since there are four major Research Universities in Mexico City’s metropolitan area, with extensive undergraduate and graduate programs in physics, biology, medicine, engineering and mathematics.

The program includes:

  • Talks by national and international experts;
  • Poster session for undergraduate / graduate students
  • Round-Table session on new trends in biological physics.
  • A dedicated issue of conference proceedings.

3st International Summer Symposium on Systems Biology

05-08-2019 to 06-08-2019


Those are the proceedings for the 3rd edition of the “International Summer Symposium on Systems Biology”. The meeting took place at the National Institute of Genomic Medicine (INMEGEN) in Mexico City from August 4-6, 2014. This event was the first of a series of meetings to encourage the development of the systems biology in Mexico and the development of this area to tackle basic and applied research in medical and biomedical fields. This effort was supported by the Laboratory of Human Systems Biology-INMEGEN to create a scientific ambiance for discussing some methods and strategies to develop the bases of a systemic and personalized medicine in a national and international perspective.

The purposes of the meeting were:

  • Discuss some of the frontier research in Systems Biology and its applications for understanding human diseases.

  • Create an ambiance to establish collaborations among groups that will promote different computational frameworks for modeling human diseases.

  • Design strategies to encourage growth in this area in biomedical, medicine and genomic sciences at the undergraduate and graduate levels since these are areas with potential for dealing with health problems in Mexico.

To reach these goals, the meeting brought together some national and international qualified experts from different research groups, providing an excellent occasion for academic exchange between local and foreign colleagues in a pleasant and collaborative environment. The program included plenary lectures, poster sessions, a discussion panel and a series of short presentations geared towards postdoctoral researchers and advanced graduate students.

  • A dedicated issue of conference proceedings.

Due to the generosity of the sponsoring institutions, no fees will be charged to those selected to participate in this conference.


2nd International Summer Symposium on Systems Biology

02-08-2016 to 04-08-2016


With great pleasure we are hereby announcing the 2nd International Summer Symposium on Systems Biology (IS3B) taking place in Mexico City, Mexico from August 2nd - 4th 2016. The IS3B 2016 is organized by The Human Systems Biology Laboratory (HSBL), RAI-UNAM & INMEGEN.

The IS3B is currently the largest symposium on Systems Biology in Mexico and Latin America, and strives to unite leading researchers and students in an informal setting with the aim to present current research in Systems Biology and Systems Medicine. The aims of the meeting are:

  1. Discuss current research in Systems Biology and its applications for understanding human diseases
  2. Create an ambiance that enables scientific collaborations among experimental and theoretical groups working on human diseases.

To this extent we invite national and international researchers and students working in the aforementioned fields during all stages of their academic career with the possibility to present their work as a poster or short talk to a highly qualified research community.

The registration deadline has been extended until June 15th, 2016!


1st International Summer Symposium on Systems Biology

04-08-2014 to 06-08-2014


Those are the proceedings for the 1st edition of the “International Summer Symposium on Systems Biology: From networks to phenotypes in human diseases”. The meeting took place at the National Institute of Genomic Medicine (INMEGEN) in Mexico City from August 4-6, 2014. This event was the first of a series of meetings to encourage the development of the systems biology in Mexico and the development of this area to tackle basic and applied research in medical and biomedical fields. This effort was supported by the Laboratory of Human Systems Biology-INMEGEN and Fundación Televisa to create a scientific ambiance for discussing some methods and strategies to develop the bases of a systemic and personalized medicine in a national and international perspective.

The purposes of the meeting were:

  • Discuss some of the frontier research in Systems Biology and its applications for understanding human diseases.

  • Create an ambiance to establish collaborations among groups that will promote different computational frameworks for modeling human diseases.

  • Design strategies to encourage growth in this area in biomedical, medicine and genomic sciences at the undergraduate and graduate levels since these are areas with potential for dealing with health problems in Mexico.
