Location:
Blacksburg, Virginia, USA

Contents:
Key concepts of kinetic modeling of biochemical networks:
- simulation of dynamic (kinetic) models
- sensitivity analysis
- carrying out parameter estimation tasks
- model exchange using SBML
- advanced features: cross section task.

Learning Goals:
During this half-day course, we provide attendees with a choice of either attending a basic tutorial, where attendees will learn basic techniques for modeling of biochemical networks. This starts with kinetic modeling techniques which will be illustrated and exercised with COPASI. The hands on exercises throughout will ensure that attendees become familiar with the software tool and with analyzing, creating, editing, importing and simulating biochemical networks. Alternatively, participants can join an advanced tutorial covering features like the new cross section task. In this section participants are encouraged to bring along their own models and questions.

Prerequisites:
Some knowledge of mathematical modeling will be advantageous.
The participants should bring their own laptop.  Download and pre-installation of COPASI is recommended but not mandatory.
