  1. Computing in the Life Sciences Stephen Emmott Microsoft Research Cambridge

  2. Context:

  3. ‘New kinds’ of science

  4. What we are doing:

  5. Inventing and building new kinds of tools pioneering new kinds of science

  6. Integrate theoretical, experimental, computational science

  7. 1:Revolutionising biological modelling

  8. Codification of biology: 4 letters [genome] > 20 letters +3D position [proteome] > networks [pathways] > processes [e.g. immune system]

  9. Process calculi: p-calculus: Tool=SPiM

  10. Compositionality, parallelism, abstraction: a language for programming biology

  11. P-system models, beta-binders [apoptosis]

  12. Artificial biochemistry > library of gene gates > artificial complex biological systems: Enabling new kind of in-silico biology

  13. 2:Advancing immunology

  14. MHC Antigen presentation

  15. 3:Understanding Earth’s life Support System

  16. Integrating climate models, oceanography, biodiversity science, theoretical ecology

  17. [Building blocks of] New kinds of computing:

  18. Lessons from Nature: biochemistry, proteins, immunology, morphogenesis...

  19. Other / New projects:

  20. MToR, Food-webs, Highly novel bio-energetic models, Molecular computing:‘informed matter’

  21. Conclusions: just beginning, exciting times
