ISSSB-International Summer School on Systems Biology
The Systems Biology approach to discover marine life:
from a big eye to a microscopic picture
27-30 October 2025
Biological systems are complex networks of biological entities such as organs, tissues, cells, organelles, macromolecular complexes, and regulatory pathways at a macro scale.
Oceans represent a perfect example of a biological system made of a huge number of interconnected biodiverse systems, both as species and as niches. Understanding how their connections result in its health and equilibrium requires a wide approach, looking at it from all the possible angles.
Systems biology aims to provide a comprehensive view of the biological systems using an interdisciplinary integrated approach from different scientific areas and technological, experimental and informatic skills.
Based on this holistic view, the school aims to provide participants basic and advanced knowledge on Biodiversity, Ecological interactions, Evolutionary Genomics and Omic disciplines, to be used as an integrated approach applied to oceans for EcoEvoDevo studies and Biotech Applications.
Welcome to the Second International Summer School on Systems Biology
at the Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn
The school is build on the trace of the illuminated view of Anton Dohrn, the founder of the Stazione Zoologica that conceived the institute as an integrated network of human, technical and economical activities. Only an integrated approach based on multifunctional techniques can prospect the ocean inhabitants, their network and their significance for human knowledge enhancement and potential biotech applications.
