Information, probability and inference in systems biology (IPISB 2013)

Biology / General / Mathematics

Organized by Clive Bowsher (University of Bristol), Caroline Colijn (Imperial College London), Peter Swain (University of Edinburgh)

http://www.icms.org.uk/workshops/IPISB13

07/15/2013 - 07/17/2013

International Centre for Mathematical Sciences, ICMS, 15 South College Street, Edinburgh

The aim of this workshop is to bring experts in probability, information theory, and stochastic systems alongside experimental systems biologists to develop understanding of the principles underlying cellular signalling and decision-making, and to develop quantitative techniques to investigate those principles experimentally. Key topics to be addressed include:

1) New information theoretic approaches to sensing and signal transduction by cells with an emphasis on dynamic problems, including the quantification and statistical estimation of information in molecular biology.
2) Study of stochastic biochemical networks: new developments in Monte Carlo simulation methods, approximate analytical techniques, and the need for a more developed theory of stochastic chemical reaction networks.
3) Inferential methods for statistical modelling of time series data from single cells, including simulation-based methods, likelihood free inference, diffusion approximations, particle filtering techniques and reversible jump MCMC.
4) Cellular decision-making, both intracellular and intercellular: how to apply mathematics of decision theory to the biological context.
5) Design of signal transduction networks for use in synthetic biology, particularly when the cellular outcome is controlled in response to a changing environment.
