Description |
|
| We are pleased to announce the Joint User-Training Workshop "Developing Multi-Scale, Multi-Cell Developmental and Biomedical Simulations with CompuCell3D and SBW. It will focus on teaching the basics of multi-cell, multi-scale modeling using the open-source packages CompuCell3D and SBW. The workshop will be taught by many of the CompuCell3D and SBW developers. In addition to participating in lectures and hands-on exercises, each participant should prepare a 30 minute presentation covering her/his area of research. Based on our previous experience, such presentations lead to many future collaborations as well as make the workshop a more scientifically stimulating event. The workshop will be held on the Indiana University, Bloomington campus from August 8th - 19th, 2011 and is appropriate for Experimental Biologists, Medical Scientists, Biophysicists, Mathematical Biologists and Computational Biologists of experience from advanced undergraduates to senior researchers. By the completion of the workshop, participants will have implemented a basic simulation of the particular biological problem involved in their research. There is no registration fee, and partial support for travel and hotel costs may be available. Priority will be given to student and postdoctoral participants. We will also provide lunches and all workshop materials. Post-course support and collaboration to continue simulation development is available. If seeking support, please include a statement with your application that documents your need and the amount you request. Enrollment is by application only, and early enrollment is encouraged as the number of workshop spaces is limited. To apply, please send a C.V. and brief statement of your current research interests and specific modeling problem(s). Students and postdocs should include a letter of support from their current adviser. Deadline for applications is June 1st, 2011. All submissions must be by email to Dr. Maciej Swat (mswat@indiana.edu). For additional information, see the attached poster, contact Maciej Swat (mswat@indiana.edu), or visit http://www.compucell3d.org. (Please forward this e-mail to any of your colleagues who might be interested.) Non-US participants: Before making travel arrangements, please consult us about the type of visa you need to enter the US as the use of certain types of US visas may result in your financial support being taxed according to the US tax code. (Please note: Your reimbursement may be reduced due to U.S. tax withholding.) Consulting US visa regulations is recommended for all foreign participants in order to avoid last minute hassles. We look forward to your participation. Sincerely, James A.
