OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

The complex systems that arise in biology, including biochemical reaction networks, signaling pathways, cell-cell interactomes and gene regulatory networks, are challenging to decipher. One valuable approach is offered by “dynamical systems” or “systems biology”, which has a rich history in mathematical biology and whose use is being propelled by recent advances in computational science. I will give an introduction to this method, including simple examples of ordinary differential equations, (i.e. how to go from a cartoon arrow diagram to a quantitative mathematical model) and provide shared code (Matlab/Python/Julia). This talk will be accessible to audiences with no background in mathematics or programming
