Fourth International Summer Institute on Network Physiology (ISINP)
Lake Como School for Advanced Studies
27 July – 1 August 2025
Despite the vast progress and achievements in systems biology and integrative physiology in the last decades, we do not know the basic principles and mechanisms through which diverse physiological systems and organs dynamically interact and integrate their functions to generate a variety of physiologic states at the organism level.
The multidisciplinary field of Network Physiology aims to address this fundamental question. In addition to defining health and disease through structural, dynamical and regulatory changes in individual physiological systems, the new conceptual framework of Network Physiology focuses on the coordination and network interactions among diverse organ systems and sub-systems as a hallmark of physiologic state and function.
The International Summer Institute on Network Physiology will integrate empirical and theoretical knowledge across disciplines with the aim to understand in different contexts, from extensive data analyses and modeling approaches to clinical practice, how diverse physiological systems and sub-systems dynamically interact to produce health and disease.
The Summer Institute will address a diverse audience of graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, research scientists and faculty across a broad range of disciplines and fields from physics, applied mathematics, computational and data science, and biomedical engineering to neuroscience, physiology and clinical medicine.
Application deadline: March 15, 2025
