About The Conference
The 21st conference of the International Study Group for Systems Biology (ISGSB) will be held in Stellenbosch, South Africa, from 9–13 September 2024. To advance the ongoing quest of bridging the gap between molecules of the cell, the metabolic and signalling networks they participate in, and the emergent biological phenomena that result from their interactions, this meeting invites contributions from experimental and theoretical biologists, computational modellers and interdisciplinary systems biologists. We look forward to welcoming you in Stellenbosch!
