Delhi Workshop on Metabolic Modelling 2013
This is an activity of the collaborative project Development of Metabolic Models to Support Systems Biology Approaches to Bioenergy Research
About the Workshop
This second workshop will cover kinetic modelling of metabolism and Metabolic Control Analysis, with an emphasis on their application to biotechnology and metabolic engineering.
Practical Sessions
Participants are invited to bring their own laptops to the practicals to supplement the available computing resources.
If you can bring a laptop, please follow these instructions to install ScrumPy on it before the workshop. If the files are too large for Windows users to download, at least try installing the VirtualBox software, and we will supply the ScrumPy virtual machine file at the workshop. We will also use the GnuPlot plotting package; this is included with the ScrumPy virtual machine, but Windows users can download it from this site, choosing the 'gp463-win32-setup.exe' option.
Provisional Timetable
Student Contributions
The last hour of the first four morning sessions will be given over to student presentations. Students will be informed later as to the exact timetabling of their talks.
Typical daily timetable
Mornings, 9:30 -12:30 (Monday 10:00 - 12:30); Lunch 12:1300 - 14:00; Afternoons, 14:00 - 17:00 (at the latest)
