NIMBioS Current Tutorials
NIMBioS Past Tutorials
Multi-cell, Multi-scale Modeling
NIMBioS hosted a tutorial on Multi-cell, Multi-scale Modeling, May 18-21, 2011, at NIMBioS. This tutorial introduced and taught a novel, state-of-the-art approach to multi-cell multi-scale modeling using the Glazier-Graner-Hogeweg (GGH) and reaction kinetics network models and the CompuCell3D (CC3D) and Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML) simulation environments.
Migration from the Desktop: HPC application of R and other codes for biological research
NIMBioS hosted a tutorial on Migration from the Desktop: HPC application of R and other codes for biological research, May 9-11, 2011, at NIMBioS. The goal of this workshop was to introduce participants to the skills, strategies, and techniques necessary for them to make the jump from desktop computing to HPC environments.
Stochastic Modeling in Biology
NIMBioS hosted a tutorial on Stochastic Modeling in Biology, March 16-18, 2011, at NIMBioS. This tutorial was designed to introduce selected topics in stochastic modeling with an emphasis on biological applications.
Fast, Free Phylogenies: HPC for Phylogenetics
NIMBioS hosted a tutorial on High Performance Computing for Phylogenetics, Oct. 13-15, 2010, at NIMBioS. This tutorial was designed to teach participants how to use TeraGrid, the CIPRES Portal, the iPlant Discovery environment, university clusters, and other typically free HPC resources for phylogenetic analysis.
Graph Theory and Biological Networks
