Workshop Abstract

Systems biology is heading for a description of the functional relations of all players in an entire cell or an organism by means of chemical reaction kinetics, i.e., complete genetic and metabolic reaction network are the subject of mathematical analysis, modeling, and simulation. Although analysis and modeling of whole cells is still out of reach, modules or semi-autonomous regulation and reaction subnetworks are studied successfully and provide an understanding of important quantities which are characteristic for living systems, e.g., robustness, homeostasis and long term stability of periods. The great challenge of systems biology comes from the large numbers of reactions, often several thousands and more, as well as a similarly large number of parameters, many of which are unknown, leading to high dimensional ODEs. High-throughput data of cells at the genomic, proteomic and metabolic levels provide an enormous amount of information on the dynamics of functioning cells. During the special semester we focus on mathematical methods to infer the functional network at genomic or metabolic level from such time series data. Problems to be studied include the calcium dynamics during T-cell activation, the analysis of stoichiometric networks and the evolution of metabolic networks.
