Since biological
systems challenge the available methods, and the necessary foundations in physics, computer science, and mathematics are often missing, the CellDevo track greatly benefits from the fundamental research in computer science, bio-image informatics, biophysics, and applied mathematics represented in the CompBio and BioPhysEng tracks and help to develop the methodological foundations for future

Integrated
systems biology approaches can identify gene regulatory networks, such as immune, stress and other regulatory responses, and link them
with physiologic states.6 This bioinformatics
approach provides an unbiased view of the immune
system profile, and can be linked to changes in environmental conditions.7 These network
approaches, while often applied to identifying disease profiles, can be used to identify salutary states as well, such as that which might result from intensive meditation.
