CompSysBio2021: Advanced Lecture Course on Computational Systems Biology, November 14-20, 2021
Daniel Jost
We are excited to announce the 4th Advanced Lecture Course on Computational Systems Biology which will be held between November 14-20, 2021 (https://project.inria.fr/compsysbio2021/). Due to the still uncertain situation regarding the COVID crisis, we are waiting until the beginning of September 2021 to decide if the School will be in-person in the Aussois resort (France) or online. However, pre-registration is open and abstracts may be submitted.
The main Course emphasis is methodological. One goal is to illustrate the wealth and diversity of Systems Biology issues for scientists from Computer Science, Mathematics and Physics. Another goal is to allow biologists motivated by Systems Biology to go deeper into methodological issues in order to facilitate their contacts with scientists from the formal sciences.
Sessions are preferentially organized around methodological issues: dynamical and stochastic systems, spatio-temporal models, network analysis, evolutionary systems dynamics, with a constant eye on biological relevance (https://project.inria.fr/compsysbio2021/program/). This will be complemented by blackboard teaching and hands-on sessions in parallel classes bearing on specific topics or methods.
The Course will be an opportunity for participants to interact directly with 18 prominent scientists in this rapidly growing field. If the School is organized as a in-person meeting, in order to facilitate casual interactions, there will be time for hiking in the afternoon.
Participants are strongly encouraged to submit an abstract of their current work to be presented as a poster in order to facilitate scientific interactions. Some abstracts will be selected for short talks by the Scientific Committee. Fellowships are available for students and will be awarded to cover registration fees in case of an in-person meeting on the basis of the submitted abstract.
Best regards
The Organisation Commitee of CompSysBio2021
