Computational Systems Biology and Dose Response Modeling Workshop

NATIONAL WORKSHOP ON
COMPUTATIONAL SYSTEMS BIOLOGY AND DOSE RESPONSE MODELING
2 - 4 March, 2012
ORGANISED BY
MAHATMA GANDHI-DOERENKAMP CENTER (MGDC)
BHARATHIDASAN UNIVERSITY

SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP
a. Current computational modeling techniques for the quantitative investigation of how biological systems respond to perturbations at the cellular level
b. Common motifs in signal transduction and gene regulatory networks that underlie systems-level cellular behaviors including homeostasis, adaptation, threshold response, binary and irreversible cell fate decisions, and oscillatory behaviors
c. To use these techniques to develop computational tools for understanding and predicting nonlinear dose response behaviors for drug and chemical entities
TOPICS TO BE COVERED IN LECTURES & EXERCISES
a. Computational dose response modeling – background
b. Network motifs in quantitative cell signaling and dose response
c. Binary decision-making in biological systems: positive feedback, bi - stability, irreversibility, and cellular memory
d. MAPK-mediated ultra sensitivity and bi - stability
e. Cellular homeostasis, stress response and adaptation
f. Stochastic gene expression, its biological function, and implication for dose response
g. Exercises on the Berkeley Madonna® software program accompanying each lecture
