The 3rd Annual MSM Consortium meeting was for the first time held in conjunction with an international conference. The 2008 SIAM conference on the Life Sciences, http://www.siam.org/meetings/ls08/index.php, provided a format which allowed all the grantee presentations to be fully integrated into the main conference through eight MSM organized minisymposia. IMAG intended to use this venue to highlight the culmination of three years of MSM grantee projects and five years of IMAG activities to a wider modeling community.
Other highlights include:
- An IMAG and SIAM co-organized a special trans-agency government panel with 13 participants representing NIH, NSF, NASA, DOE, USDVA, the European Commission and the President of NSERC (Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada), {Government Panel}
- An IMAG and SIAM co-organized special Forward Looking panel discussion on the Future of Model Sharing, {Model Sharing Panel}
- An IMAG led discussion the EU-US Biotechnology Partnership effort for Virtual Tissues
- Participants included presenters from 4 Virtual Physiological Human projects, http://www.vph-noe.eu/vph-projects, funded by the European Commission, VPH NoE, euHeart, VPHOP, preDiCT
- Participants also included presenters from the NIH Roadmap SIMBIOS NCBC, http://simbios.stanford.edu/, and special invited presentations from Japan and the United States
