The first CAMMP @ RWTH
CAMMP is organized by Prof. Martin Frank, MathCCES; Prof. Ahmed E. Ismail, Molecular Simulations and Transformations; and Dr. Nicole Faber, AICES Graduate School. The Computational and Mathematical Modeling Program (CAMMP) brought together students and faculty from both high schools and university to introduce the basics of computational modeling through hands-on exploration. Working intensively over the course of a week, students, with contributions from the teachers and university researchers, constructed solutions to challenging mathematical problems drawn from real-world scenarios.

Bernhard Schuldt invited to give a talk at the 4th Bioinformatics Stem Cells Satellite Workshop in Essen
Bernhard Schuldt an AICES fellow working for Prof. Andreas Schuppert, and Dr. Franz-Josef Müller (CAU Kiel) will present recent and ongoing research projects in a talk "Pluripotent stem cells: one network to find them, one network to rule them?" at the 4th Bioinformatics Stem Cells Satellite Workshop Stem Cell Network NRW in
Essen. The talk will give an intuitive overview of different uses of systems biology based on experience in applying network concepts in pluripotent stem cell research.
Furthermore, there will be an outlook on how different approaches can be integrated into comprehensive mathematical models, which are necessary for planning novel and successful experiments.
