DESCRIPTION:Friday\, September 5th\, 12:00\, ICFO's AuditoriumLUIS SERRANOL
 eader of the Design of Biological Systems group and Director of the Centre
  for Genomic Regulation $$ Luis Serrano is the Director of the Centre for 
 Genomic Regulation\, CRG and ICREA Professor and the leader of the Design 
 of Biological Systems Group at the CRG. He also directs the EMBL/CRG Syste
 ms Biology Research Unit. He has done pioneering work in the field of Syst
 ems Biology\, an emergent approach in biology that attempts to consider al
 l the components of a biological system and tries to link the properties a
 nd interactions of the components with functions performed by the intact s
 ystem via a computational model. Serrano‘s group is aiming at a quantita
 tive understanding of biological systems to an extent that one is able to 
 predict systemic features with the hope to rationally design and modify th
 eir behavior.  By achieving this objective he is aiming at new global unde
 rstanding and treatment of human diseases in which the target will not be 
 a single molecule but a network.  For this purpose he develops on one hand
  new software and theoretical approximations to understand complex systems
  and on the other he carries out experiments to validate predictions.\nPro
 f. Serrano received several fellowships (e.g. EMBO fellowship\, Marie Curi
 e EU fellowship) is an EMBO member\, has founded 4 biotech companies in Ge
 rmany\, Spain and the US\, serves as a member of the scientific advisory b
 oard of several biotechs and holds 8 international patents\n
