2019 Dresden Summer School in Systems Biology
This school provides lectures and tutored hands-on training in spatiotemporal modeling and simulation of biological systems for students with a computational/quantitative background. It is intended primarily for Master and Diploma students of Computer Science, Physics, Engineering & Mathematics.
The school takes place in Dresden, Germany from 10-17 August 2019. The week's activities provide project-based research experience in a number of scientific fields at the intersection of biology and computer science. Whether you are interested in spatiotemporal modeling, bio-image analysis, virtual reality, machine learning, biomedical data science, or bioinformatics, you will gain insight into developing and applying new computational tools to answer biological questions. To keep up with the changing times, the course contents have been fully reconceived this year, involving the many directions in research pursued at the CSBD. Full information is available at: https://www.imprs-celldevosys.de/join/summer-school
The focus on biological systems is intended to allow participants to:
- Transfer computational and theoretical knowledge to the life sciences
- Identify and tackle challenges from big data to prediction in complex, multi-scale systems
- Further develop their trans-disciplinary communication and learning skills
- Formulate clear project and design data- and model-based approaches to them.
- Get hands-on insight to emerging techniques from machine learning, artificial intelligence, visual computing, and scientific computing
In addition to lectures and project work, we host a series of evening talks by distinguished scientists from various fields related to systems biology. These talks are intended to provide an overview of the breadth of the field also beyond the specific topic of the school.

The school provides a comprehensive and intuitive introduction to computational and algorithmic approaches to biological systems. Emphasis is placed on concepts, and jargon is avoided to the extent possible. Concepts will be demystified and explained intuitively through practical applications and hands-on experience.
Interested students should complete the online application form at https://indico.mpi-cbg.de/event/151/. This will allow us to understand your background, your scientific interest, and what you wish to accomplish. Make sure to upload all required documents.
Deadline for registrations is 20 April 2019. On this date, the registration system will automatically close. Candidates will be notified of acceptance on or before 15 May 2019.
