Hands-On Quantitative Biosciences Modeling Workshop: Stochastic Gene Expression

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Summaries

Summary Sentence: Intended for Ph.D. students and instructional faculty in the life sciences

Full Summary: This two-day workshop on the theme of "Stochastic Gene Expression" will be taught by Joshua Weitz and is bilingual. You can learn in MATLAB or Python.

Do you want to integrate computational models of living systems into your research or courses, but have limited (or no) prior modeling experience?

Joshua Weitz, director of the Interdisciplinary Ph.D. Program in Quantitative Biosciences (QBios) and a professor in the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry, and first-year QBios Ph.D. students invite you to a two-day, hands-on workshop intended for Ph.D. students and instructional faculty in the life sciences.

Joshua Weitz will teach this two-day hands-on modeling workshop on the theme of "Stochastic Gene Expression." He will be joined by the inaugural cohort of QBioS. 

The two-day workshop will cover the following:

  • Introduction to gene expression theory
  • Introduction to basic programming concepts in MATLAB and Python.
  • Modeling stochastic gene expression.
  • Modeling randomness across biological scales
  • Consultation on individual project

Registration is required. However, the workshop has reached maximum number of registrants. Still, you can register to go on a wait list.
