The provisional dates for the next Mathematical Modelling for Biologists Summer School are 10-13 Sept 2012. If you would like to join the mailing list to be notified with further information and registration details, please email Susie Lydon (susie@cpib.ac.uk)
The fourth CPIB Summer School, co-organised by CPIB and SIGNET, took place 5-8 September 2011 at the University of Nottingham.
The aims of our summer school are:
- To introduce modelling and quantitative approaches to biologists
- To encourage experimental design which generates data suitable for modelling
Target audience: Open to all – PhD students and postdoctoral researchers with a biological background are particularly encouraged to attend, and no prior experience is assumed. We welcome applications from biologists from all sub-disciplines – you don’t have to be a plant scientist to attend!
Places are limited to 40 and applicants are asked to give their background and motivation for attending. Priority will be given to applicants who will benefit most from the course.
Thanks to support from CPIB and SIGNET, the course fee for 2011 is only £100 and this covers tuition, single en-suite accommodation for 3 nights, and all meals and refreshments. Payment details will be supplied when a firm offer of a place is made.
Programme:
Day 1: Data, Networks and Models
Day 2: Multi-variable models
Day 3: Parameter estimation and sensitivity; Stochastic models
Day 4: Multicellular modelling
The course comprises integrated lectures and computer-based practicals which will allow you to gain an understanding of modelling approaches in a helpful, friendly environment.
Course Organisers: Nick Monk (University of Nottingham) and Markus Owen (University of Nottingham).
