Computational Metagenomics (2026)

Dive into state-of-the-art computational methods for the analysis of metagenomic and metatranscriptomic data, from experimental design through to functional annotation of microbiomes. First, the fundamentals are discussed, then the topics are explored in depth with lectures by experts and practical…

Dynamic Modeling in Systems Biology (2026)

Living organisms exhibit remarkable hierarchical complexity that cannot be understood through data collection alone. Mathematical modeling provides a powerful and cost-effective approach to generating and testing hypotheses about biological mechanisms. In this course, taught by expert instructors from WUR, TU/e,…

Constraint-Based Modeling: Introduction and Advanced Topics (2027)

This course introduces computational modeling of large (genome-scale) metabolic reaction networks through a scalable framework known as constraint-based modeling. Emphasis will be on the usage in both biotechnology and systems biomedicine. Main topics will be fundamental constraint-based modeling methods, omics…
