Students,
in the Spring 2020 I am offering a journal club in computational biology
(listed as Micro 607) to discuss recent advances in mathematical
modeling in biology. Mathematics has been widely used in biology, and
mathematical modeling of biological processes/systems is a well accepted
tool of studying complex phenomena. However, not always mathematical
modeling brings deeper understanding of biological processes and it is
often hard to determine appropriate uses or misuses of mathematical
modeling. This journal club will aim at bringing together researchers,
interested in mathematical modeling, to discuss recent advances in
mathematical biology and to learn from each other what makes
mathematical modeling useful and impactful. Participants will choose
papers on mathematical modeling in biology (according to their
interests) and present major findings of a given study, with
discussion/critique of those. Papers will be chosen from preprint
servers (e.g., BioRxiv, PeerJ preprints, etc). Following discussion we
will be writing a review of the paper and upload those on the preprint
servers.
I would like to encourage graduate students, curious about uses and
misuses of mathematics in biology, to register for the course (Micro 607
Journal Club in Computational Biology). I also would like to ask
undergraduate students, post-docs, and faculty who are interested in
participating to join our discussions.
Time and place will be determined as enough students are registered for
the course but currently, the class is scheduled to Fridays 1:25-2:15pm
(Spring 2020). Meetings will be in Mossman 504.
