Date: 9. – 13. February 2020
Venue: Hotel Rozsutec, Vratna, Slovakia
Wait, but why? The workshop serves as a platform for exchange of ideas within the community and also provides opportunities for informal meetings of the participants in one of the Slovak ski resorts. It is focused on young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers and building cooperation across computational and experimental disciplines. It will give the community of PyOIF users opportunity to discuss the developments of their models and the simulation tool.
Primary topics of the workshop:
- modeling and simulations of cells in flow
- PyOIF module (part of ESPResSo) as tool for simulating flow of cells
- fabrication of microfluidic devices
- microfluidic experiments with cells or other objects in flow
- image processing of recordings from biological experiments
- simulation software
- statistical analysis of data from biological experiments and simulations
- and related topics
The program will include presentations of the participants, hands-on sessions with PyOIF software, free time to enjoy skiing, hiking and wellness.
