The&nbsp; Lyon&nbsp; University&nbsp; has&nbsp; a&nbsp; long-standing&nbsp; tradition&nbsp; in&nbsp; promoting&nbsp; mathematics&nbsp; and&nbsp; informatics&nbsp; for&nbsp; biology, from the biometrics pioneered by Jean-Marie Legay to the first DNA sequence database created by Richard Grantham and Christian Gautier. The Lyon community in systems biology, now federated by <a href="/www.biosyl.org">BioSyL</a&gt;, was naturally established on such a fertile ground. It has further developed with the involvement of both the Inria national computer science institute and the Institute for Complex<br>
Systems (IXXI).
</p>
<p>
This was paralleled by strong investment in training, with the creation in 2000 of a Bioinformatics and Modeling course at the ‘Institut National des Sciences Appliquées de Lyon’ and of a license/master curriculum in Mathematics and Computer Sciences at the University Claude Bernard Lyon 1.
</p>
<p>
Finally, Lyon has hosted international conferences in systems biology since the early 2000s, starting with the IPG series (Integrative Post-Genomics, 2004-2010) and the&nbsp; LyonSysBio conference since 2014.
</p>
<p>
For all these scientific reasons, and not to mention the fantastic extra-scientific life quality in Lyon, our city has been chosen to host the 19th International Conference on Systems Biology in 2018.
</p>
<p>
We have appointed an extraordinary Scientific Program Committee that enthusiastically agreed to help us&nbsp; shape the overall program of that edition. We tried to cover both&nbsp; established and more emerging fields of research that are of interest to the systems biology community at large.
</p>
<p>
We hope everyone will feel welcome and will return home with vivid memories of the 19th edition of the ICSB.
