  <title><![CDATA[Hands-On Quantitative Biosciences Modeling Workshop: Stochastic Gene Expression]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>Do you want to integrate computational models of living systems into your research or courses, but have limited (or no) prior modeling experience?</p>

<p><a href="http://ecotheory.biology.gatech.edu/">Joshua Weitz</a>, director of the Interdisciplinary Ph.D. Program in Quantitative Biosciences (QBios) and a professor in the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry, and first-year QBios Ph.D. students&nbsp;invite you to&nbsp;a two-day,&nbsp;hands-on workshop intended for Ph.D. students and instructional faculty in the life sciences.</p>

<p>Joshua Weitz&nbsp;will teach this two-day hands-on modeling workshop on the theme of &quot;Stochastic Gene Expression.&quot; He will be joined by the&nbsp;<a href="http://qbios.gatech.edu/college-sciences-welcomes-inaugural-class-interdisciplinary-phd-program-quantitative-biosciences">inaugural cohort</a>&nbsp;of QBioS.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The two-day workshop will cover the following:</p>

<ul>
	<li>Introduction to gene expression theory</li>
	<li>Introduction to basic programming concepts in MATLAB and Python.</li>
	<li>Modeling stochastic gene expression.</li>
	<li>Modeling randomness across biological scales</li>
	<li>Consultation on individual project</li>
</ul>

<p>Registration is required. However, the workshop has reached maximum number of registrants. Still, you can register to go on a wait list.</p>
