Description |
|
| Whole-cell models are promising tools for predicting phenotype from genotype by accounting for every individual gene and cell function. Whole-cell modeling has the potential to enable rational bioengineering and precision medicine. However, significant work remains to develop fully complete and accurate whole-cell models. The goal of the 2016 Whole-Cell Modeling Summer School is to provide young investigators cutting-edge training in large-scale dynamical modeling and model integration. Why participate? ------------------------ The course will be the first course focused on multi-algorithm whole-cell modeling. It will teach strategies for building and managing large models which aren’t covered by any other course including multi-algorithm modeling, model organism database curation, surrogate modeling, and software development. The five-day course will feature didactic lectures, interactive hands-on tutorials, and student research talks. The mornings will feature lectures on modeling individual pathways. The afternoons will feature interactive hands-on tutorials on building and analyzing multi-algorithm models to generate and evaluate hypotheses. Throughout the course, students will work toward building a small whole-cell model. In addition, the course will include student talks to enable students to share their own research. Who is the course for? ------------------------ The course is designed for PhD students and postdoctoral scholars who wish to gain training in large-scale dynamical modeling. Students should already have a strong foundation in computational systems biology including dynamical modeling and scientific programming. See the pre-requesites section below for more information. Speakers ------------------------ Javier Carrera, Stanford University James Faeder, University of Pittsburgh Tim Gardner, Riffyn Anne Claude Gavin, EMBL Heidelberg Peter Karp, SRI Jonathan Karr, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Edda Klipp, Humboldt University of Berlin Maria Lluch-Senar, Center for Regulatory Genomics Julio Saez-Rodriguez, European Bioinformatics Institute Luis Serrano, Center for Regulatory Genomics Ian Stansfield, University of Aberdeen Jörg Stelling, ETH Zürich Bas Teusink, VU University Amsterdam Barbara Di Ventura, University of Heidelberg Important dates ------------------------ Application due: December 15, 2015 Notification of application decision: December 2015 Oral presentation submission: Winter 2016 Notification of oral presentation decision: Winter 2016 Summer school: April 3-8, 2016 How to apply ------------------------ The online application (http://apps.crg.es/content/internet/events/webforms/13960) is due December 15, 2015. The application asks for brief descriptions of why you want to participate in the course, your background, and your current research, as well as your CV. |
