Crowning Corona policies: Understanding and modelling COVID-19 epidemics

A crash course for learning to use models to better understand and assess COVID-19 policies around the world

30 November - 9 December 2020 (online)

Under the auspices of the research infrastructure for systems biology and bioinformatics ISBE.NL and ELIXIR.Luxembourg

Aim:

After this course, participants will be able to model the Corona epidemics themselves and assess governmental and other policies critically

Entry level: any; we will cater for bridging gaps



Welcome to ISBE.NL

The Netherlands' arm of ISBE-Light (the Infrastructure for Systems Biology Europe), ISBE@NL, has started its operation 1 September 2016, with its first service provision:

Make Me My Model

4M 4U: Non modellers can obtain (assistance with) the making of a computational model of their biological system

If interested, please e-mail the executive director Alexey Kolodkin mailto:a.n.kolodkin@vu.nl l)

In March 2018 ISBE.NL has extended to include the groups of Ilja Arts ( Maastricht ), Natal van Riel ( Eindhoven ) and Vitor Martins dos Santos ( Wageningen ) and their expertise


Modelling expertise offered as a service in ISBE.NL:

Systems Biology Amsterdam (Alexey Kolodkin, Hans Westerhoff et al): precise kinetic models of metabolism and signal transduction; metabolic control analysis, hierarchical regulation analysis, non-equilibrium dynamics, statistical mechanics, enzyme kinetics, flux balance analysis. Energy and carbohydrate metabolism in Archaea, Bacteria and human; ammonium assimilation in Bacteria; differential network-based drug design; cancer metabolic rewiring; cell cycle; genome wide metabolic map and inborn errors of metabolism; epigenetics.


Wageningen University (Vitor Martins dos Santos et al): meta-genomics -transcriptomics and –proteomics; analyses of complex communities of the GIT; genome-scale modelling and engineering; reverse engineering and network inference; chassis-circuit interactions; model-driven experimental circuit design; multivariate statistical analysis; defining growth media; vaccine production; drug target identification TB; cell factories; bio-remediation. Further information.


Eindhoven (Natal van Riel et al): Data-driven kinetic and physiological modelling of human metabolism and its regulatory systems; dynamic modelling; parameter estimation; uncertainty quantification; Metabolic Syndrome; liver diseases; diabetes; skeletal muscle energy metabolism. Further information.


Maastricht Centre for Systems Biology (MaCSBio) (Ilja Arts et al): Topics: Systems Medicine of Chronic Diseases: empirical domains of human metabolism, obesity and related diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and liver disease; modelling of whole-body and tissue-specific metabolism; unravelling their regulatory processes. Activities: generation and analysis of dynamic models of metabolism; analysis and visualization of genome-scale data using network and pathway approaches, including (genome-scale) metabolic modelling (GSMM); generating complex prediction models through machine learning and statistical inference .
