Description |
|
| The principal objective of the spring school is to give an introduction to the variety of mathematical methods and computational tools available for the dynamical modelling, analysis and validation of biological regulatory networks. The school will consist of lectures and training sessions, with focus on qualitative and analytical aspects of regulatory network modelling, as well as on concrete applications. In addition to providing primers in molecular and cellular biology, the school notably covers the following modelling approaches: * Dynamical systems : differential equations, symbolic dynamics,... * Discrete models : graphs, logical automata,... * Formal methods : temporal logic, model checking,... The lecturers address the following issues: * Scalability * Scope and limits of the different approaches * Modelling questions : available information, abstraction level * Existing tools, especially those that are freely available Much emphasis is given to practical sessions with hands-on computer exercises and mini-projects under the guidance of at least one instructor. The school is oriented towards researchers, PhD students, postdocs and faculty interested in the modelling of biological systems, with various scientific backgrounds, including mathematics, physics, biology, and computer science. For more information and pre-registration, see the url http://www.inrialpes.fr/schoolleshouches07/index.html Some financial support is available upon request for academic researchers and students, thanks to the contributions of the CNRS, INRIA, INSERM , as well as from DIAMONDS and HYGEIA EU FP6 projects. |
