OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
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
