LiSyM Modeling Workshop Hofgeismar 2020

This workshop is a satellite meeting to the LiSyM Young Scientist Retreat. It takes place just before the retreat and is organised by Matthias König (Junior Group), Michael Kücken and Lutz Brusch (Pillar I). The aim of this additional workshop for the modelers is to demonstrate and discuss the wider applicability, but also the limitations of the mathematical and computational methods and software used and even (co-)developed within LiSyM and to exchange them among LiSyM groups. These methods and tools need not be exclusive results of LiSyM but any advanced computational methods and tools used within LiSyM may be presented. The talks shall introduce the method or tool, give any underlying theory, technical requirements and problems/issues, ideally also a live demo, application example and/or the roadmap for future user support and development. Around this information exchange, we'll enjoy communication and networking among the modelers and discuss challenges and long term perspectives of modeling for Systems Medicine, considering specific medical data issues. The workshop features a keynote lecture by an external expert in computational systems medicine, the presentation and discussion of a white paper draft on modeling for systems medicine, hands-on software demos and presentations (20min talks plus 10min discussions) in four sessions:

Analysis of big data and networks (gene regulatory, metabolic and related)
Image analysis and machine learning
Models and methods for analysing temporal dynamics
Multiscale models and methods for spatio-temporal dynamics

Participants (students and postdocs) can stay an additional night in the same room in Hofgeismar prior to the retreat. On our second day, the modeling workshop will phase over to the retreat from Wednesday, 29 January till Friday, 31 January. See the associated abstract booklet for the detailed program, abstracts, participant list, summary of software adapted and (co)developed within LiSyM and more details.
