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
When a biological system is modelled using a mathematical process, the next step is often to estimate the system parameters. Although computational and statistical techniques have been developed to estimate parameters for complex systems, this can be a difficult task. As a result, researchers have focused on revealing parameter-independent dynamical properties of a system. In this talk, we will discuss the study of qualitative behaviors of stochastic biochemical systems using reaction networks, which are graphical configurations of biochemical systems. The goal of this talk is to (1) introduce the basic modelling aspects of stochastically-modelled reaction networks and (2) discuss important results in this literature, including the random time representation, relationships between stochastic and deterministic models, and derivation of stability via network structures.
