Quantitative analysis is essential to integrate knowledge systematically from genome through molecular and cell biology to understand how organs and organisms function. On June 14–18, 2010 and August 23–27, 2010, the National Simulation Resource in the Department of Bioengineering, University of Washington, Seattle, is giving modeling courses on transport, pharmacokinetics and metabolism in cardiovascular and respiratory systems for clinical and research scientists. The focus is on approaches to data analysis, on using mathematical models for precisely defining hypotheses, designing experiments and evaluating the fitting of models to data. Participants are encouraged to bring data and models for group discussion. Starting with computer models from www.physiome.org/Models , participants will develop new models using standard tools including JSim, a simulation system for building and analyzing quantitative models. JSim runs on PC, Mac, and Linux platforms and is free and downloadable from www.physiome.org/jsim/download/ . (Supported by NIH T15 HL088516.)
