We are putting together a proposal to make a Synthesis Center for the field of cell and molecular biology. Its goal would be to synthesize the vast quantities of available cell and molecular data (protein types, locations, abundances, interactions) into both conceptual and quantitative models, that allow us to explain and predict the remarkable transition from nonliving molecules to living cells. The center (if they choose our proposal) would be funded by the National Science Foundation for 5-10 years and be housed at the Allen Institute for Cell Science in Seattle. During this workshop, I'd love to bounce around ideas for the synthesis center, and to identify points of intersection between this proposed center and your favorite tool or area. | We are putting together a proposal to make a Synthesis Center for the field of cell and molecular biology.

* Can we use NLP to help convert between a discourse graph and drafting a narrative (i.e. paper or proposal)? Is the structure of a manuscript sufficiently formulaic to pull this off (I think yes)? | * Can we use NLP to help convert between a discourse graph and drafting a narrative (i.e. paper or proposal)?
