WELCOME

The Graduate School of BioMedical Engineering is organizing two masterclasses for professionals on Wednesday, the 7th of May and 4th of June 2025.

These 2 days are focused on Computational Systems Biology and Network Science in biology and aim to introduce these topics through practical training.

The 2 masterclasses are independent, but you can attend both!

They are open to PhD students, researchers and engineers in academia and industry.

Registration is mandatory and the number of places is limited to 20.

Please find below the related information to the second masterclass: 

 

Learning Objectives

During this masterclass, you will:

  • Learn the main theory and principles of the use of graph theory in biology;
  • Become familiar with network science;
  • Gain hands-on experiences in the statistics needed to understand networks;
  • Acquire skills in creating network-based models that enable visualization, prediction and design of flow-up studies.

Content

  • Network science, graph theory and principles;
  • Basic training in methods and tools;
  • Hands-on sessions on biological problems.

Audience

Doctoral students, researchers, and engineers in academia and industry.

This masterclass does not require any specific preparation or prerequisites.
