Modern biology and biotechnology follow the chemical,physical and engineering sciences by using quantitative mathematical models for the description of complex cellular behaviors. Concepts from molecular and systems biology, synthetic biology, process engineering, and economy will have to be combined for the development of efficient biotechnological processes. To enable biologists, biotechnologists, and biochemical engineers to pursue this interdisciplinary challenge, it is mandatory to strengthen both the mathematical skills of biologists and the engineers' knowledge of basic biological concepts and nomenclatures.
Thus, the Society for Chemlcal Engineering and Biotechnology DECHEMA (Frankfurt) and the Innovation Centre Technologies for Health and Food (Berlin) devised a summer school schedule that would allow participants to familiarize themselves with relevant biological concepts from systems and synthetic biology, with mathematical modellng strategies and appropriate technologies and software tools. The summer school addresses both biologists and engineers: Biologists will leam how engineering approaches can help them in planning, performing and evaluating experiments, whereas engineers get insightinto state-of-the-art measurement techniques that feed their biological models.
The course consists of formal lectures, workshops and tutorials for hands-on experience with state-af-the-art tools.
The participants are encouraged to bringtheir laptop computers. They will be informed on the system requirements and provided with respective Software to be installed onthe laptop PC.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
