Pathway modeling with SBML (LiSyM modeling workshop)

Version 1

Liver Systems Medicine : striving to develop non-invasive methods for diagnosing and treating NAFLD by combining mathematical modeling and biological research. LiSyM, is a multidisciplinary research network, in which molecular and cell biologists, clinical researchers, pharmacologists and experts in mathematical modeling examine the liver in its entirety. LiSyM research focuses on the metabolic liver disease non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which includes non-alcoholic steatohepatitis ...

This comprises the whole LiSyM network

Dr. Matthias König (Humboldt University, Berlin) models the human liver on the computer. His simulations show the extent of individual differences in liver function and the external factors influencing it. König has shown that smoking falsifies the result of an important liver test (LiMAx). With his models, drug doses can be calculated so that they can be administered in doses that do not harm the liver.

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 ...
