Microbial Communities: Modelling Meets Experiments 2018
In-Person Event
Dec 03 - 07, 2018
Heidelberg, Baden-Wurttemberg, DE
OVERVIEW
Microbial Communities: Modelling Meets Experiments is organized by European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and will be held from Dec 03 - 07, 2018 at EMBL Heidelberg, Heidelberg, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany.
The target audience for this medical event is PhD students and post-docs with interest in analysing species interactions in natural or synthetic microbial communities. We expect both biologists interested in learning/using modelling and mathematicians/physicists/computer scientists with little biology exposure.
Conference Description :
The course will introduce state-of-the-art modeling and experimental tools for discovering and analysing species interactions in microbial communities, with a particular focus on metabolic dependencies.
The course will run over a period of five days, each day divided between a morning session with theory and an afternoon session with practical work. In the morning session, a leading expert in the field presents background information, key concepts and computational/experimental methods. This lecture module is followed by a meet the speaker coffee break. The concepts are then introduced in more detail by the speaker or by one of the organizing instructors. Afternoon sessions, supervised by the instructors and teaching assistants, are dedicated to extensive practical work in wet as well as dry lab.
The faculty’s expertise includes constrained based modelling, spatio-temporal dynamics, metagenomics, highthroughput phenotyping and metabolomics. Optional after-dinner programming tutorials are offered by teaching assistants.
Conference Objectives are :
• The unique combination of wet-lab experiments with mathematical modelling will give the participants an all-round exposure to key methods required to go from hypothesis to the bench and back.
• The course will further provide a platform for discussion of the key questions and challenges in the field, and improve communication between the bench and computational scientists.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
