BioSB Course Quantitative and Predictive Modelling

Date:  22-26 June, 2015
Location: Wageningen
Course Coordinators: Jaap Molenaar (WUR), Natal van Riel (TUE)
Website: http://biosb.nl/education/course-portfolio-2/course-quantitative-and-predictive-modelling/
Registration:  http://biosb.nl/education/course-portfolio-2/course-quantitative-and-predictive-modelling/enrollment-quantitative-and-predictive-modelling-course/ 
. Please note that this course is free of charge for PhDs who are or  
become a member of the  BioSB research school.

On June 22-26  2015,   BioSB organises the first edition of the   
course Quantitative and Predictive Modelling. The main theme of the  
Quantitative and Predictive Modelling course is how to describe the  
dynamic behaviour of biological systems and integrate experimental  
data. Concepts of modelling are introduced via a great variety of  
examples taken from diverse practices. The emphasis is on providing an  
overview of modelling approaches rather than an in-depth treatment of  
a few techniques. After classification of biological systems  
(metabolic, regulatory, signalling, population, multi-scale,  
statistical models), the concepts of top-down versus bottom-up  
modelling will be introduced, with emphasis on bottom-up approaches.  
Parameter estimation is an important modelling tool and will receive  
adequate attention. In the course Matlab will be used as software tool  
for the practicals. Participants not familiar with Matlab will get a  
short introduction.
This course is primarily targeted at academic researchers such as PhD  
students and Postdocs in Life Sciences, Bioinformatics, Systems  
Biology or Biomedical Engineering. Participants from private sector  
are also welcome. Participants are expected to have some experience in  
modelling with differential equations or to have followed Introductory  
courses from the BiosB Course Portfolio<http://biosb.nl/education/course-portfolio-2/ 
 >,  e.g. E-course modelling , E-course calculus, Discovering Systems  
Biology Principles or Applications for Systems Biology and  
Bioinformatics in the Medical Sciences. The course will start with a  
session to refresh the basic elements of modelling with differential  
equations.
This course is part of the Education Programme of BioSB, the  
Netherlands Bioinformatics and Systems Biology Research School, which  
offers  training and education for in bioinformatics and systems  
biology.
