This symposium explores combining symbolic and numerical methods to model signaling pathways, focusing on Petri nets, pi-calculus, and differential equations. Examples include Lambda phage genetic switch feedback mechanism and information transmission in cells. Benefits include structural analysis and parameter estimation for pathway characterization. Collaboration with Yamaguchi Univ. experts enhances experimental data utilization. Sponsored by Ministry of Education Research Grant.
