SynthSys Seminar Series - 8th November 2012

We are delighted to welcome Dr Carlos Lopez, Vanderbilt Univ. School of Medicine, Nashville, TN, USA,to present a seminar on 8th November regarding apoptosis regulation with a programmatic modeling approach.

Date: 8th November 2012

Time: 12noon

Venue: CH Waddington

Hosted by: Thierry LeBihan

Title: Exploring apoptosis regulation with a programmatic modeling approach

Abstract:

Experiments often result in observations that can lead to conflicting interpretations of biochemical mechanisms in signaling networks. We aim to use mathematical modeling of extrinsic apoptosis signaling networks to address such experimental observations and provide a theoretical explanation to seemingly discordant interpretations.

Hosted by: Dr Sarah Martin

Title: Formative cell division in the Arabidopsis root - Peptide ligands and receptor kinases in control

SynthSys Seminar Series - 18th October 2012

We look forward to welcoming Dr Davide Chiarugi, Department of Mathematics and Informatics University of Siena, Italy on 18th October at CH Waddington, to present a seminar on modelling non-Markovian dynamics.

We apolgoise for any inconvenience, but due to circumstances beyond our control this seminar has unfortunately had to be cancelled.

KingsLinks - An Evening of Synthetic Biology

Dr Sarah Martin, Synthsys (the main organiser of this KingsLinks event, along with her committee members, Massimiliano Porrini and Jason Kalapothakis) are hosting an event in the Swann Lecture Theatre on 27th June 2012.

KingsLinks is an EPSRC-funded, post-doc led group whose aim is to encourage greater mixing and to initiate collaborations within and between the Colleges of Science and Engineering (CSE) and Medicine and Veterinary Medicine (CMVM). With this in mind, there have been a series of events planned:

In 4 themed KingsLinks Colloquia the aim to create a space for researchers across Edinburgh with a general interest in a topical research theme to meet and connect so the Kingslinks programme exists to initiate collaborations between scientists from different fields and welcome three leading researchers in the field of Synthetic Biology.

Stochastic Modelling Workshop

Dr. Ramon Grima (SynthSys, University of Edinburgh) will be presenting this very interesting workshop, as organised by Dr Galina Lebedeva on Wednesday, 27th June 2012. It starts with a lunch at 12noon, giving an opportunity to network and socialise before the Introduction session at 1pm. It is being held in CH Waddington Room 1.8 (Seminar Room) and will finish at 4.30pm.

The session will cover the following topics:

Get Your Kit Out

The main aim of this event is to familiarise members of staff through the University with what equipment is available within the five schools of Chemistry, Biological Sciences, Engineering, GeoSciences and Physics & Astronomy. Lorraine Kerr of SynthSys has been very much involved in the organisation of the event, having the Kinetic Parameter Facility (KPF) here in CH Waddington.

SynthSys Seminar Series 7th June 2012

The first seminar of June 2012, will welcome Prof. Jonathan Bard, Department of Physiology, Anatomy & Genetics, University of Oxford to SynthSys. This will be a most interesting seminar, relating to the developmental and evolutionary change and the complexities of systems biology, but he will preface the seminar with a 5 minute talk on two of Waddington's key experiments in development and evolution that demonstrate his brilliance and importance, having personally known and worked with C H Waddington.

Date of Seminar: 7th June 2012

Time: 12 noon

Venue: Seminar room (1.08) CH Waddington

Hosted by: Dr Stuart Aitken
