Modelling and Microbiology
The potential contribution that computational and theoretical modelling can make to our understanding of biological systems is enormous. This meeting will highlight recent advances in modelling microbiological systems. As well as their well-known potential for causing disease, microbes are crucial for the functioning of the Earth's biogeochemical cycles and are essential for many industrial processes such as fermentation and waste water treatment. Microbes are also an ideal starting point for understanding how biological processes work in higher organisms, populations and ecosystems. During 2010-2011, our e-science institute-funded theme ’Modelling and Microbiology’ has explored the potential for productive interactions between modellers and microbiologists in the key areas of stochasticity in microbial infection, microbial evolution and microbial metabolism. This meeting will bring together these themes and suggest future directions.
