This joint IIAS and Peking University workshop, featuring postgraduate students and mentors from Israel and Peking, is the first in a series focusing on Strategies and Design Principles. The workshop will explore the following topics: cell fate and differentiation; decision making in neuronal systems; systems biology of tumour microenvironment; regeneration and reprogramming; intercellular communications (e.g. biofilm, microbiome, pathogens...); and hierarchical design of biological networks. In our view, these topics represent some of the most challenging, open questions in the field of Systems Biology.
