The 20th of September, applications close for the upcoming ISSSB2025 Summer School on Systems Biology applied to marine environments, “The Systems Biology approach to discover marine life: from a big eye to a microscopic picture” that will be held in Naples from the 27th to the 30th of October 2025.
This summer school aims to bring together students, researchers, and professionals interested in the cutting-edge applications of Systems Biology to marine ecosystems. It promises to be a highly enriching experience with insightful lectures, interactive sessions, and opportunities for networking.
Key details about the ISSSB2025 Summer School:
- II Edition of the International Summer School on Systems Biology Applied to the Marine Environment : “The Systems Biology Approach to Discover Marine Life: From a Big Eye to a Microscopic Picture”
- Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn / Darwin-Dohrn Museum, Naples (Italy) – 27–30 October 2025
- Dive into an interdisciplinary journey exploring marine biodiversity through the lens of systems biology! Learn how cutting-edge technologies, from omics to ecosystem modelling, are transforming our understanding of life in the oceans.
Course overview:
Systems biology seeks to understand biological phenomena holistically by integrating diverse data and exploring dynamic networks that connect organisms, their environment, and key molecular components such as genes, proteins, and metabolites. This interdisciplinary approach is essential to reveal how biological systems adapt to environmental changes and self-correct, such as in response to mutations.
Given their vast biodiversity and complexity, oceans exemplify systems that can only be understood through integrated scientific perspectives. Advances in technologies like genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and single-cell approaches, combined with bioinformatics, now allow researchers to study marine life at unprecedented resolution, from ecosystem-wide dynamics to cellular processes.
Topics covered:
- Biodiversity assessments
- Ecosystem Scale Modeling
- Omics Workflows
- Evolutionary Genomics & Eco-Evo-Devo
- Marine Biotechnology & Synthetic Biology
- Hands-on sessions + expert talks in a unique marine science hub
Open to: Master’s students, PhD candidates, postdocs & early career researchers.
