[3C] Cells, Computers & Clinics
A transdisciplinary symposium towards understanding human health.
The global pandemic showed the critical importance of integrating fundamental, computational, and clinical research to promote systemic understanding of a global threat to humankind. Global epidemiological assessments informing national and regional policy-making around the world were only made possible due to fundamental mechanistic knowledge of coronavirus biology dating back decades, large-scale data on human mobility patterns enabled by recent technologies, as well as massive onsite and dynamic clinical reporting from health institutions.
It is now clear that complex human diseases can only be tackled by transdisciplinary efforts that integrate fundamental, computational, and clinical research. This is not, however, an easily achievable feat, as fundamental laboratory discoveries are often not directly transferable into clinical settings, with controlled experiments not necessarily reflecting organismic and societal complexity. Only with synergy between fundamental researchers, clinicians, and data scientists can we hope to gain the depth of understanding required to address the physiological mechanisms behind some of the most challenging human diseases at the interface between hosts and pathogens.
The goal of the [3C] Cells, Computers & Clinics Symposium is to do exactly that, to bridge fundamental, computational, and clinical research in the scope of complex diseases, particularly those related to host-pathogen interactions.
We look forward to having you with us, on the sunny and beautiful campus of the Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência, a research institute at the forefront of interdisciplinary biomedical research located in Lisbon, where the Tejo river meets the Atlantic.
Submission Guidelines
Submission for Talks and Posters highlighting recently published papers, preliminary findings, and problematic discussions aligned with the topics are all welcome. Submissions must be limited to 2 pages including title, authors, affiliations, abstract (~500 words), an optional figure with caption, and references (A4; 12pt; 1in margin). Please include keywords that align your submission to the session topics below.
The symposium will not publish proceedings but the organizing committee will compile a paper report that summarizes sessions and their discussions. Authors should not submit confidential data as abstracts will be made publicly available.
List of Sessions (disease-specific topics)
All of our sessions will be disease-focused with an emphasis on bridging fundamental, computational, and clinical research. We will strive to have speakers from all three disciplines in each session. You are welcome to submit your contribution to a specific topic/disease or to showcase how you can contribute to bridging different areas/fields in order to help solve some of these complex health issues.
