Second International Summer Institute on Network Physiology (ISINP)

The new field of Network Physiology addresses the fundamental question of how physiological systems and organs in the human body dynamically interact as a network and integrate their functions across space and time scales to generate health or disease.

The Second International Summer Institute on Network Physiology (ISINP), to be held 28 July – 02 August 2019 in Como, Italy, will focus on this emerging field. It will lay the foundation of a new conceptual framework to study network interactions among diverse organ systems and sub-systems as a hallmark of physiologic state and function.

This will be an interactive event with lectures by leading experts ranging from physics and applied mathematics to neuroscience, physiology, psychology and clinical medicine, and will discuss the challenges, current frontiers and future developments in the interdisciplinary field of Network Physiology.
