Tutorial on Computational Systems Biology

Date:: 02 Nov 2009
Location:: Eindhoven, the Netherlands

This tutorial is organised in conjunction with Formal Methods 2009. This one-day tutorial provides an introduction to computational systems biology, starting with a crash course on molecular biology for computer scientist and continuing with discrete, continuous and stochastic modeling techniques, as well as formal methods-based approaches. A demonstration is included on Copasi (Complex Pathway Simulator), a useful tool for modeling and simulating sysbio projects. The well known heat shock response, that the lecturers and their research groups have been working on already for some years, will serve as a running example connecting the various topics.

Lecturers: Ion Petre and Ralph-Johan Back, Abo Akademi University, Finland

Registration deadline: October 16, 2009
