About this Event
About the Workshop
Mechanistic modelling allows us to understand and predict the dynamics of fundamental cellular processes such as gene expression. This is often achieved by abstracting biological processes into a chemical reaction network that can be analysed using mathematical and computational tools. In this workshop we will cover theoretical and practical aspects of modelling gene expression in single cells, using deterministic and stochastic approaches. Starting with a simple model of mRNA transcription, we will gradually incorporate protein translation, chromatin and cell cycle dynamics, as well as spatial coupling between cells. As a particular focus, we will explore the effects of molecular noise in single cells and its contribution to single-cell heterogeneity.
Throughout the workshop, we will use the Julia programming language, an increasingly popular choice for scientific computing due to its performance and feature-rich package ecosystem.
Pre- requisites: Some programming experience (Python, MATLAB, R, C/C++, …).
Lead Instructors: Augustinas Sukys & Kaan Ocal
Please note that the $25 booking fee will be fully refunded upon workshop attendance.
