Cardiovascular & Respiratory Systems Modeling: From Cell to Organ
September 8-15, 2007
W.H. Foege Building
University of Washington, Seattle
Goals: Under the direction of James B. Bassingthwaighte, M.D., Ph.D., a pioneer in computational physiological modeling, course participants will learn basic physiological systems-level modeling, using the cardiovascular and respiratory systems as their guide. Upon completion of the course, participants will
- become proficient in modeling physiological systems;
- know how to validate models against experimental data;
- use models in designing experiments;
- revise models in light of new data.
Participants can expect to be able to apply course foundations to their scientific research and clinical applications development. We encourage participants to bring their own experimental data sets to analyze under the guidance of course instructors. Download the preliminary course outline (download requires Adobe Reader).
Target Audience: Principal Investigators, clinicians, research scientists, and students, with little or no experience in physiological modeling, who want to integrate modeling analysis into their work. No specific programming experience is required.
Fees and Scholarships: The basic fee for the course is $400. Participants are responsible for the cost of transportation, accommodation, and meals. Scholarship money is available for course fee waivers and travel stipends. Applicants interested the scholarships must, in addition to filling out the registration form, send a one- page letter that demonstrates need and a vested interested in the field of modeling, along with two letters of recommendation to Ms. Kay Sterner by Friday, August 17, 2007 at 5 p.m. PDT. Scholarship applicants will be notified of their application status the week of August 20, 2007. Please address all scholarship queries to Ms. Sterner.
Registration Deadline Extended: Course enrollment is limited to twenty-five people, and we encourage early registration. To register, please fill out the online registration form. Registration ends on Friday, August 29, 2007 at 5 p.m. PDT. REMINDER: Individuals requesting a scholarship need to send a one-page letter along with two letters of recommendation to Ms. Sterner in addition to filling out the registration form. We regret to inform that course participation is restricted to U.S.citizens and Green Card holders.
Upon acceptance, please mail a $400 check or money order, made out to The University of Washington to:
