FEBS Practical Course in Computational Biology (PC09-008)
August 2-9, 2009
Computational modeling and simulation are becoming indispensable to the life sciences. This practical course
provides lectures and tutored hands-on training in basic computational methods for spatiotemporal modeling and
simulation of biological systems. The participants will be introduced to a powerful numerical simulation method,
and have enough time and supporting tutors to implement and try all of the taught concepts and methods
themselves. We will focus on ready-to-use recipes (akin to experimental protocols) to simulate biochemical
reactions, diffusion, waves, and flows. The course will consist of lectures in the mornings and tutored hands-on
training in the afternoons
Lecturers:
Prof. Dr. Ivo F. Sbalzarini, ETH Zürich, Switzerland (course organizer), Dr. Bojan Žagrović, MedILS,
