The focus will be on identifying ways to combine HPC-based methods to scale up computation with mechanistic and statistical modelling to build predictive dynamical models.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span lang=EN-GB>The keynote speaker will be <a href="https://fertiglab.com/">Dr Elena J Fertig</a>, Director of the Research Program in Quantitative Sciences, Co-Director of the Convergence Institute and Associate Director of Quantitative Sciences at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span lang=EN-GB>Additionally, we will have 6 selected talks from a call from abstracts for which we would like to gather interesting (and interested) people. Thus, *<b>we kindly ask you to send contributions to this call for abstracts and to spread the word to interested parties</b>*. Note that PerMedCoE can cover registration costs of several participants to the workshop. Specifically, PerMedCoE encourages the participation of young female researchers/technicians.
