In Silico Systems Biology: Mathematical modelling of biological systems

Information:
————-
In this course we introduce deterministic modelling of biological systems, with a focus on modelling signalling pathways. We will also teach you how to simulate the models you construct, using python.

Preliminary content of course:
——————————-
* Deterministic modelling – ordinary differential equations
* Introduction to building your own mathematical models
* Simulation of models, programatically, using Python
* Modelling and simulating different examples of signal transduction pathways

Pre-requisites:
————-
You have taken at least one basic programming course (any language is ok, but in this course we will use python).

Schedule: cbm_modelling_course_schdule
————-

Morning sessions (9am – 1pm): lectures and practical session

Afternoon sessions (2pm – 4pm): practical session

Tuesday (27th) (optional attenance): Reminder of basics of python and libraries we will be using. Note that this is only a reminder and is aimed at people who have already taken a besci course in programming, but have not had a lot of practice since.

Wednesday (28th): Introduction to systems biology, mathematical models and practicals modelling simple biochemcial systems.

Thursday (29th): Modelling signalling pathways

Friday (30th) (optional attendance): Session designed to let you continue with course exercises or to bring your own modelling porjects and get some advice.

The course is free for all members of EMBL.
