COMBINE & ERASysAPP Tutorial
Modelling and Simulation of Biological Models

http://co.mbine.org/events/tutorial2014

Date: Sunday, September 14th, 2014 (9:00 - 18:00)

Venue: To be advised (in the vicinity of the ICSB venue)

Focus
Participants will learn setting-up computer models of biological networks and simulating them in different systems biology platforms, as well as using databases and applying modelling standards. Hands-on sessions, lectures and software demonstrations will be included providing attendees with the necessary skills.

Topics
- Model setup using different software tools and systems biology platforms
- Using experimental data for setting up quantitative models
- Parameter estimation, optimization and model fitting
- Simulation, analysis and visualization of biochemical models
- Database supported modelling: Integrated data management and model databases
- Community standards and formats for systems biology models

Standards (http://co.mbine.org/): CellML, SBGN, SBML, SED-ML
Databases: BioModels, JWS Online, Physiome Repository, SABIO-RK, SEEK
Modelling tools: CellDesigner, COPASI, OpenCOR, SBGN-ED, SYCAMORE, Virtual Cell

Target audience
Experimentalists and modellers with basic experience in modelling and simulation
