'''SysMod (Systems Modeling)''' is an annual meeting dedicated to the computational modeling of biological systems. It is part of the Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology ([[Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology|ISMB]]) conference and the European Conference on Computational Biology ([[European Conference on Computational Biology|ECCB]]), leading international [[bioinformatics]] and [[computational biology]] events. SysMod focuses on mechanistic modeling and [[Causal model|causal]] understanding of biological functions at all scales, from [[Virus|viruses]] and individual [[Cell (biology)|cells]] and [[Tissue (biology)|tissues]] up to integrated host-[[Microbiota|microbita]] simulations. It aims to channel the development of systems biology by bringing together scientists from diverse fields, including [[Wet lab|wet-lab]] and [[Dry lab|dry-lab]] researchers, and fostering their exchange.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Puniya |first=Bhanwar Lal |last2=Verma |first2=Meghna |last3=Damiani |first3=Chiara |last4=Bakr |first4=Shaimaa |last5=Dräger |first5=Andreas |author-link5=Andreas Dräger |year=2024 |title=Perspectives on computational modeling of biological systems and the significance of the SysMod community |url=https://academic.oup.com/bioinformaticsadvances/article/doi/10.1093/bioadv/vbae090/7699786 |access-date=2024-07-29 |website=academic.oup.com |doi=10.1093/bioadv/vbae090 |issn=2635-0041 |pmc=PMC11213628 |pmid=38948011}}</ref> SysMod usually comprises a one-day meeting at varying places internationally, with keynote talks, lightning speeches, and poster awards.

== Overview ==

Line 13 ⟶ 48:

* Computational and [[Mathematical model|mathematical modeling]] of biological systems.

* Integration of [[Multiscale modeling|multi-scale]] and multi-level data.

* Development of new computational methods and tools for [[systems biology]].

* Apply modeling to understand complex biological processes and [[Disease|diseases]].

The event attracts researchers and professionals in systems biology, bioinformatics, computational biology, and related fields. It features keynote lectures, oral presentations, posters, workshops, tutorials, and panel discussions.

SysMod promotes networking, collaboration, and the exchange of innovative ideas, contributing to advancements in understanding complex biological systems through computational approaches.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Dräger |first=Andreas |author-link=Andreas Dräger |last2=Helikar |first2=Tomáš |last3=Barberis |first3=Matteo |last4=Birtwistle |first4=Marc |last5=Calzone |first5=Laurence |last6=Chaouiya |first6=Claudine |last7=Hasenauer |first7=Jan |last8=Karr |first8=Jonathan R. |last9=Niarakis |first9=Anna |year=2021 |title=SysMod: the ISCB community for data-driven computational modelling and multi-scale analysis of biological systems |url=https://academic.oup.com/bioinformatics/article/37/21/3702/6308778 |access-date=2024-07-29 |website=academic.oup.com |publisher=Oxford Academic |pages=3702-3706 |doi=10.1093/bioinformatics/btab229 |issn=1367-4803 |pmc=PMC8570808 |pmid=34179955 |last10=Rodríguez Martínez |first10=María |last11=Saez-Rodriguez |first11=Julio |last12=Thakar |first12=Juilee}}</ref>

== History ==

SysMod was initiated in [[2015]] by [[Nicolas Le Novère]] and co-founded by [[Andreas Dräger]] and Jonathan Karr. The first SysMod meeting was held in [[2016]] at [[Walt Disney World|Disney World]], [[Orlando, Florida|Orlando]], FL, in conjunction with the Network Biology (NetBio) workshop. It featured keynote speakers Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Nathan Price, and Ioannis Xenarios. Following the successful launch, the SysMod coordinator team expanded to include Tomáš Helikar, Julio Saez-Rodriguez, and Laurence Calzone. The next meeting took place in [[Prague]] in [[2017]]. When Nicolas Le Novère stepped down, A. Dräger became the ''de facto'' chairman. The meeting was held in [[Chicago]], IL, and the coordinators expanded further with Claudine Chaouiya, Jan Hasenauer, María Rodríguez Martínez, Marc Birtwistle, and Juilee Thakar joining the team. The subsequent meeting was in [[Basel]]. Anna Niarakis and Matteo Barberis joined the coordinators in [[2019]]. Due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], the meetings were held virtually instead of in [[Montreal]] ([[2020]]) and [[Lyon]] ([[2021]]).<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Niarakis |first=Anna |last2=Thakar |first2=Juilee |last3=Barberis |first3=Matteo |last4=Rodríguez Martínez |first4=María |last5=Helikar |first5=Tomáš |last6=Birtwistle |first6=Marc |last7=Chaouiya |first7=Claudine |last8=Calzone |first8=Laurence |last9=Dräger |first9=Andreas |author-link9=Andreas Dräger |date=2022-09-22 |year=2022 |title=Computational modelling in health and disease: highlights of the 6th annual SysMod meeting |url=https://doi.org/10.1093/bioinformatics/btac609 |journal=Bioinformatics |volume=38 |issue=21 |pages=4990–4993 |doi=10.1093/bioinformatics/btac609 |issn=1367-4803 |pmc=PMC9620821}}</ref> After the meeting in [[Madison, Wisconsin|Madison]], WI, in [[2022]] A. Dräger stepped down as chairman.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Puniya |first=Bhanwar Lal |last2=Dräger |first2=Andreas |author-link2=Andreas Dräger |year=2023 |title=Advancements in Computational Modelling of Biological Systems: seventh annual SysMod meeting |url=https://academic.oup.com/bioinformatics/article/39/9/btad539/7274114 |access-date=2024-07-29 |website=academic.oup.com |publisher=Oxford Academics |page=btad539 |doi=10.1093/bioinformatics/btad539 |issn=1367-4811 |pmc=PMC10937619}}</ref> SysMod restructured its governance, introducing a team of volunteers (Nantia Leonidou and Giovanni Guglielmi), a scientific advisory board, and six community-elected coordinators. The current coordinators are Shaimaa Bakr, Matteo Barberis, Chiara Damiani, Reihaneh Mostolizadeh, Bhanwar Lal Puniya, and Meghna Verma, with Bhanwar Lal Puniya as their elected chairman. SysMod now operates with a rotation of coordinators and fixed terms for the coordinators and the scientific advisory board, ensuring dynamic and updated leadership.
