Description |
|
| This 2-day course will introduce the basics concepts of a “network”, and how this is used to describe biological processes occurring within the cell, in the framework of Systems Biology. The course will be particularly focused on teaching participants how to use “reverse-engineering” computational algorithms to analyze large-scale experimental data, such as gene expression profiles, to identify the gene regulatory network in which a gene of interest is embedded. Participants will learn how to use state-of-the-art reverse engineering methods based on Bayesian Networks, Mutual Information and Differential Equations. The course is aimed at participants with a biological, or computational background. For biologists ,it will provide an understanding of the theory and practical application of systems biology in order to help them use these news tools in their research. For participants from engineering, physics, mathematics, informatics and related sciences, it will provide a thorough understanding of both the biological and computational aspects of reverse-engineering, with direct application to the analysis of biological data. Thanks to the Support of ESHG, EGF offers 5 fellowships covering the registration fee. Deadline for sending cv: 10th September, at 18.00 (Bruxelles time). Registration fee: 300 euro + VAT 20% = 360 euros. The fee includes tuition, course material, lunch, coffee break and shuttle bus from Porta San Mamolo (meeting point) to the course venue and back.
