Program dates: June 19-23, 2017
Location: NIMBioS, Claxton Bldg., on the campus of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville
Schedule of Activities (PDF)
This graduate program had instructors from across North America whose research expertise is mathematical modeling in biological systems using real data. Some of the techniques covered included:
- Maximum likelihood and Bayesian approaches to inference
- Parameter estimation
- Model identifiability
- Uncertainty and sensitivity analysis
The program included lectures on techniques and modeling using specific data sets. Computer activities focused on learning techniques and sessions to receive feedback on participants’ own research problems. Researchers from the mathematical and biological sciences were featured speakers.
Speakers:
- Ben Bolker (McMaster University)
- Ariel Cintron-Arias (East Tennessee State University)
- Marisa Eisenberg (School of Public Health, University of Michigan)
- Nina Fefferman (University of Tennessee, Knoxville)
- Simeone Marino (University of Michigan Medical School)
- Joseph Tien (The Ohio State University)
Organizing committee:
- Janet Best (The Ohio State University);
- Anmar Khadra (McGill University);
- Suzanne Lenhart (University of Tennessee, Knoxville);
- Greg Wiggins (NIMBioS);
- Joseph Tien (The Ohio State University)
Summer Graduate Program co-sponsors:
