Description |
|
| Programme Systems biology can now be considered an established and fundamental field in life sciences. It has facilitated themove from the identification of molecular ‘parts lists’ for living organisms towards synthesising information from different ‘omics’-based approaches to generate and test new hypotheses about how biological systems work. This joint EMBL-EBI-Wellcome Trust course will combine lectures and led discussions to identify the key challenges, opportunities and bottlenecks, with practical sessions on network analysis and network-based modelling. Target audience The course is aimed at advanced PhD students, post-doctoral and more senior researchers who are using or planning to use systems-based approaches to understanding biomedical problems. Please note:Previous experience in computational and/or systems biology approaches is required to attend this course. Topics • Overview of the field of Systems Biology: past, present and future. • Network Analysis • Qualitative Modelling: modelling and simulation of interesting networks and pathways, as well as analysis of dynamical systems. • Quantitative Modelling, in particular discrete modelling and stochastic simulations. • Network and Pathway Enrichment • Importance of semantics in systems biology: how to annotate models, and how to use those annotations to understand, merge and reason on models. • Programmatic approaches (e.g. libSBML) Participants will be encouraged to bring their own data for one to one sessions. However, specific size limits and formats will be specified in order to ensure data is usable in the available time. Participants will also be requested to provide a poster for the poster session.
