Networks are becoming increasingly important in core areas of biology and their study has important applications. Mathematical and computational techniques play a key role in understanding these networks. This seminar covers some of the most relevant topics in this area. 

Lecturer: Gunnar Klau, Life Sciences Group, Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI)

This seminar is intended for master students and beginning PhD students. It will be truly interdisciplinary, and students from mathematics, biology, bioinformatics, and computer science as well as other disciplines are welcome. The seminar covers aspects of graph theory, network analysis, algorithmics, combinatorial optimization, computational complexity, statistics, probability theory, and cell biology, and knowledge in at least one of these fields as well as interest in the others is a hard requirement for participation.

The seminar will take place on Tuesdays at Utrecht University, the exact place and time slot is still to be decided.

The number of participants is limited to 20. If you are possibly interested in participating, please send an e-mail to gunnar.klau@cwi.nl with name, background, interests and preference for time slot.
