The National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis (NIMBioS) is now accepting applications for its Tutorial, *"Mathematical Modeling for the Cell Biology Researcher and Educator "* to be held April 8-10, 2013, at NIMBioS.
*Objectives:* This tutorial will introduce and teach participants how to use computational resources for mathematical modeling and simulation of kinetic networks and networks in spatial context. During the tutorial, we will briefly introduce the mathematical foundations of reaction kinetics and different simulation techniques. Participants will work through a series of examples of increasing biological and mathematical complexity. By the conclusion of the tutorial, participants will have learned the skills needed to build and simulate models of reaction networks. Attendees will be encouraged to work on models of their own research systems and will receive assistance from the organizers and presenters. *Location: *NIMBioS at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville *Co-Organizers:* For more information about the tutorial and a link to the online application form, go to http://www.nimbios.org/education/TT_vcell.html There are no fees associated with this tutorial. Tutorial participation is by application only. Individuals with a strong interest in the topic, including post-docs and graduate students, are encouraged to apply. If needed, NIMBioS can provide support (travel, meals, lodging) for Tutorial attendees. Applicants selected to attend will be notified by NIMBioS by February 15. *Application Deadline: January 31, 2012.* The National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis (NIMBioS) (http://www.nimbios.org) brings together researchers from around the world to collaborate across disciplinary boundaries to investigate solutions to basic and applied problems in the life sciences. NIMBioS is sponsored by the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture with additional support from The University of Tennessee, Knoxville. ***************************** Catherine Crawley, Ph.D. National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis (NIMBioS) University of Tennessee 1122 Volunteer Blvd, Ste. 106 Knoxville, TN 37996 e ccraw...@nimbios.org <mailto:ccraw...@nimbios.org> t +1 865 974 9350 <tel:+1%20865%20974%209350> f +1 865 974 9461 <tel:+1%20865%20974%209461> http://www.nimbios.org http://www.facebook.com/nimbios http://twitter.com/nimbios To receive email notifications of blog updates, click here <http://www.nimbios.org/wordpress/subscribe2updates/> To subscribe to our bi-monthly newsletter, click here <http://visitor.r20.constantcontact.com/manage/optin/ea?v=001RgvbKVLa7a4Psoj8H7c43A%3D%3D>
