WELCOME

The Graduate School of BioMedical Engineering is organizing two masterclasses for professionals on Wednesday, the 7th of May and 4th of June 2025.

These 2 days are focused on Computational Systems Biology and Network Science in biology and aim to introduce these topics through practical training.

The 2 masterclasses are independent, but you can attend both!

They are open to PhD students, researchers and engineers in academia and industry.

Registration is mandatory and the number of places is limited to 20.

Please find below the related information to the first masterclass: Practical methods in computational systems biology

 

Learning Objectives

During this masterclass, you will:

  • Discover the main theories and principles of systems biology;
  • Become familiar with the different tools and methods used in systems biology for data interpretation and hypothesis formulation in biological science;
  • Gain practical experience in designing models to better understand biological problems, interactions between different entities in living systems and the environment;
  • Acquire skills in data analysis.

Content

  • Theory and principles of systems biology
  • Basic training in methods and tools
  • Hands-on sessions on biological problems

Audience

Doctoral students, researchers, and engineers in academia and industry.

This masterclass does not require any specific preparation or prerequisites.
