Dear colleague,
I would like to draw your attention to our annual  Systems
<http://systemsbiology.hi.is/Course2010>  Biology Short Course that will be
offered from June 21st to June 25th, 2010. The course is focused on helping
PhD students, current university faculty, life-science researchers, and
others gain an advanced understanding of the cutting-edge field of systems
biology. This course will provide hands-on experience combining mathematical
modeling with experimental data, emphasizing kinetic modeling of cellular
pathways.

 <http://gcrg.ucsd.edu/Researchers/Palsson> Bernhard Palsson is a Professor
of Bioengineering at the University of California, San Diego, and Adjunct
Professor of Systems Biology at the University of Iceland. He has been
developing in silico models of cellular processes for over 20 years. He has
written a text book on Systems Biology and developed a series of courses on
the subject. 

 <http://hi.is/%7Eithiele> Ines Thiele is an Assistant Professor of
Bioengineering at University of Iceland. She has participated in offering
several short courses on Systems Biology, where she covers network
reconstruction technology, the COBRA toolbox, and computational methods. 

 <http://hi.is/%7Erfleming> Ronan Fleming is an independent research
scientist at the Department of Applied Mathematics at the University of
Iceland. His research is focused on integration of thermodynamics with
constraint-based modeling of genome scale biological networks. 

	

Course Content


Metabolic reconstructions are a common denominator in systems biology. They
represent biochemically, genetically and genomically structured
knowledge-bases that capture current knowledge about an organism. These
metabolic networks can be readily converted into mathematical models and
then used to investigate the genotype-phenotype relationship. The course
will teach the reconstruction process and different modeling techniques
employed in the aforementioned areas. 

The following 4 modules will be covered during the 5 day short course:

*	High-throughput data types 

*	How to generate and interpret 
*	How to use for cellular reaction network reconstruction 

.            Reconstruction and model formulation 

o     How to reconstruct chemically and genetically structured databases 

o     How to represent mathematically 

.            Topological and steady state analysis 

o     How to analyze steady state network capabilities, properties, and
topology 

.            Analysis of dynamic states 

o     How to determine steady state and dynamic properties of networks 

o     How to use of public and commercial software packages for such
analysis 


The course is dissected into 4 lectures (each 60 min) followed by a 3 hour
practical tutorial in which the participants can apply the material under
guidance of teaching assistants.   <http://systemsbiology.hi.is/Course2010>
