  2. Quantitative Modeling Mathematical Models of Regulatory Motifs in Signaling Networks How do we understand the functions of regulatory configurations ? Integrating experiments and mathematical models What do mathematical models do for us ? Help identify hidden assumptions (Marder 2000) Sort through possible mechanisms Defines limits of generalization (Marder 2000)

  3. Why we need mathematical models to understand biological systems Weng, Bhalla and Iyengar, Science.284, 92 (1999).

  4. Different Types of Models Ordinary Differential Equation Models (ODE Models) Partial Differential Equation Models (PDE Models) Stochastic Models

  5. Choosing the right mathematical representation System:A network of interacting adrenergic receptors pathway Key Question:Is there an NE triggered MAPK switch? Modeling Approach:systems of coupled ordinary differential equations (ODEs) … … … An ODE Model

  6. Choosing the right mathematical representation System: A spatial model for Ras activation In different cellular organelles Key Question: What is the temporal characteristic of Ras activation in different cellular compartments? Modeling Approach: Reaction-diffusion model of Ras activation … … … A PDE Model
