Computer models are increasingly used to understand essential processes of biology. Researchers in academic institutions as well as the pharmaceutical industry use mathematical models to generate hypotheses on how complex biomolecular systems work. Modelling of biochemical pathways deregulated in disease conditions can offer mechanistic insights into the pathology, help to elucidate mechanisms behind drug action and predict the dose required for treatment thus facilitating fundamental research and drug discovery. This course will provide participants with an introduction to modelling resources, tools and approaches used in systems biology as well as touch on network analysis.

This course will be a virtual event delivered via a mixture of live-streamed sessions, pre-recorded lectures and tutorials with live support. We will be using Zoom to run the live stream sessions (all fully password protected) with support provided by Slack. In order to make most out of the course you should make sure to have a stable internet connection throughout the week.

Selected participants will be sent materials prior to the course. These might include pre-recorded talks and required reading that will be essential to fully understand the course.
