YISB workshop 2012

Date:

01 Mar 2012 to 02 Mar 2012

Location:

Papendal, Arnhem, the Netherlands

YISB is organising a workshop to help young systems biologists bridge the communication gap that often exists in systems biology. Mathematicians want loads of data, time series, etc., but they don't know why it's hard to obtain this data. Biologists want a complete mathematical model which includes anything they have observed experimentally, but they don't see why it's hard to include anything. Therefore, they will shortly introduce mathematical modelling to biologists and biology to mathematicians, and they show a case study illustrating how these fields can complement each other.They'll also focuss on how to communicate your research to people outside your field. What details should you discuss, and which do you leave out?

When you understand the other world a little bit better, it's time to start communicating. Not just communicating anything, you will be communicating your research with the other participants. You can present a specific research question from your research and discuss it with both biologists and mathematicians. For the research questions they ask you to submit an abstrect of your research and your question (see research question instructions). 

Finally, they'll show you where you could be in 10 years. What can systems biologists do in research, industry or pharmaceutics?

Registration is open, and the workshop is free of charge. For more information, visit the site.
