  8. Student Training Workshop • Objectives • Tutorial introductions to several important areas of systems biology • Targeted at graduate students, post-doctoral researchers & young faculty entering the field • Further CACHE goal of providing educational training • Structure • 7 leading systems biology researchers & practitioners • 5 academic speakers covering theoretical topics & important applications • 2 industrial speakers covering systems biology impact in the pharmaceutical industry

  9. Workshop Speakers Mathematical Modeling Methodology at Amgen (David Balaban, Amgen) Network Robustness (Frank Doyle, UCSB ) An Example of How Systems Biology is Contributing to Drug Discovery in the Pharmaceutical Setting (Bruce Gomes, Pfizer) Bioenergetics and Biochemical Network Thermodynamics (VassilyHatzimanikatis, EPFL) Circadian Entrainment and Rhythm Generation (Erik Herzog, Washington U and Hiroki Ueda, Kyushu U) Stochastic Chemical Kinetics (Dam Gillespie, Gillespie Consulting) Parameter Estimation and Structure Identification in Metabolic Networks (Eberhard Voit, Georgia Tech)

  10. Workshop Outcomes • Attendance • 42 total attendees • 19 graduate & post-doctoral students • 11 professors, mostly assistant professors • 1 industry attendee • 3 federal government attendees • Feedback • Overall response very positive • Several attendees felt the workshop was the most valuable portion of the conference • Future plans • Gathering presentations for website posting • Second workshop at FOSBE 2012
