Dear all, The BioSB research school is happy to invite you to the HotTopic Symposium: Computational Methods for (single cell) Spatial Data Analysis<https://www.dtls.nl/events/biosb-hottopics-symposium-computational-methods-for-spatial-data-analysis/> – LUMC Leiden, 17 November 2023 (Free entrance after registration) BioSB and ‘single cell network Netherlands’ (scNL) are co-organising this symposium. The goal of this informal meeting is to bring together people who are interested in this topic in order to learn about the latest development, and to build a community. For more information click here. <https://www.dtls.nl/events/biosb-hottopics-symposium-computational-methods-for-spatial-data-analysis/> BioSB also announces that registration is open for BioSB course: Integrated Modeling and Optimization<https://www.dtls.nl/courses/integrated-modeling-and-optimization-fundamental/> - Wageningen, 11 - 15 December 2023 (early bird fee till October 16) In validating models one always meet with the need to fit models to data. So, the parameters that are present in any realistic model have to be chosen based on comparison of model predictions with data. In this matching process optimization techniques are indispensable. That’s why a considerable part of this course is spent on getting you acquainted with the optimization techniques that are nowadays available and widely used. Numerical optimization also is the basis for so-called flux balance analysis (FBA), commonly used to study large metabolic networks. This type of models and their analysis and simulation is also introduced in the course. For more information click here<https://www.dtls.nl/courses/integrated-modeling-and-optimization-fundamental/>. Last but not least: please mark your calendars and SAFE THE DATE for The BioSB 2024 conference: 18 - 19 June 2024, Egmond aan Zee, NL. More information will follow soon! We hope to see many of you at one of the BioSB events and courses. Be welcome! Best regards, Petra Aarnoutse BioSB community manager [cid:part1.pLKCtXnZ.4aYrC2St@health-RI.nl]
