EMBL-EBI training course: Mathematics of Life 2024 & Model of the Year 2024 competition !!!

[Rahuman Sheriff]

Dear Colleagues,

Hope you are doing well and good. I would be grateful if you could circulate this around. 

EMBL-EBI virtual training course: Mathematics of Life 2024 - Deadline 26th November 2023 *upcoming Sunday*

With the training team,  I am organising the 4th edition of the EMBL-EBI training course "Mathematics of Life - modelling molecular mechanisms", a virtual modelling course for beginners from 11/03/24 to 15/03/24. Our course features tutorials, group projects, & talks from academic and industrial researchers. It will be a brilliant opportunity to learn modelling concepts and tools from scratch and gain some hands-on experience. The application deadline is 26th November, coming Sunday. However, if you need more time to submit your application, please email me at she...@ebi.ac.uk

Course Date:  Monday 11 March - Friday 15 March 2024

Venue:  Virtual  Event 

Application deadline:  Sunday 26th November 2024
Participation:  Open application with competitive selection
Contact: Marta Lloret Llinares <marta....@ebi.ac.uk>

Trainers: 

Industry: Lourdes Cucurull-Sanchez [GSK], Blerta Shtylla [Pfizer Worldwide R&D]

Academic: 

Fabian Fröhlich [The Francis Crick Institute], Jordi Garcia-Ojalvo [Pompeu Fabra University]

James Glazier [Indiana University], Tomáš Helikar [University of Nebraska-Lincoln],  Kalpana Panneerselvam [EMBL-EBI]

Miguel Rocha [Universidade do Minho],  Oscar Dias [Universidade do Minho], Krishna Kumar Tiwari [EMBL-EBI]

In the previous years, our participants were from academic and industrial background and from various phase of career including PhD students and full professors / Industrial researchers. And they provided excellent feedback.

An overview of the course, audience description can be found on the course webpage https://www.ebi.ac.uk/training/events/mathematics-life-modelling-molecular-mechanisms/

The course is promoted for experimental biologists, bioinformaticians and mathematicians who have just started to work on systems biology modelling, are familiar with the basic terminology in this field and who are now keen on gaining a better knowledge of modelling approaches to understand fundamental biological problems and application in pharma Industry. In the course you will (i) Identify the strengths and weaknesses of systems qualitative and quantitative modelling approaches (ii) Access, query, and retrieve data/models from public repositories for systems biology modelling (iii) Use modelling software to develop reproducible systems biology models and (iv) Discuss the real-life application of models in fundamental and industrial research

BioModels - Model of the year 2024 Competition - Deadline 20th January 2024

Following the success of the Model of the year 2023 Competition,   we have now opened the applications for  Model of the year’ competition 2024 . Application deadline is 20th January 2024

The competition aims to recognise exciting mathematical models of biological systems and the modellers who build them. This is an excellent opportunity for early career modellers to showcase their work.
