BioMaPS/DIMACS/MBBC/PMMB/SYCON Short Course:
Molecular Mechanisms and Models of Bacterial Signal Transduction

June 6 - 10, 2005
DIMACS Center, CoRE Building, Rutgers University

Organizers:

Eduardo Sontag, Rutgers University, sontag@control.rutgers.edu

Ann Stock, UMDNJ/HHMI, stock@cabm.rutgers.edu

This course is presented as part of the BioMaPS Summer School. It is jointly sponsored by the BioMaPS Institute for Quantitative Biology, the Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science (DIMACS), the Rutgers Center for Molecular Biophysics and Biophysical Chemistry (MBBC), the Program in Mathematics and Molecular Biology based at Florida State University (PMMB) and the Rutgers Center for Systems and Control (SYCON).

Presented under the auspices of the DIMACS/BioMaPS/MB Center Special Focus on Information Processing in Biology.

This short course on signal transduction is designed to:

• 1) enable participants with advanced training in the mathematical, computational, and physical sciences, but with a more limited background in biology, to contribute to research at the interface of the biological, mathematical, and physical sciences,
• 2) introduce participants with traditional backgrounds in biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology to the potential value of quantitative approaches in their own work,
• 3) provide participants with in-depth training in an important subfield within molecular biology.

The course is appropriate for graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, faculty members, and biomedical researchers from non-academic organizations.
