In this BIOSS publication we give an overview of the aims and activities of the EU FP7 large integrated project SYBILLA (Systems Biology of T-cell Activation in Health and Disease) that is coordinated in Freiburg by the BIOSS member Wolfgang Schamel. For an in-depth analysis of the signal transduction network that governs T-cell activation, various approaches of systems biology are used within SYBILLA. By a combination of experimental data and computational modelling, SYBILLA strives for gaining a detailed and mechanistic understanding of signal transduction processes. In order to foster the interaction between systems biologists and experimentators, SYBILLA co-organized the 15th meeting “Signal Transduction: Receptors, Mediators and Genes” together with the Signal Transduction Society (STS), which took place from November 7 to 9, 2011 in Weimar, Germany. This publication also summarizes the talks of this conference.
