During school holidays, the Scienteens Lab organises one-week long interdisciplinary workshops dedicated to students aged 16 and over.
This Scienteens Academy focuses on systems biology, a biology-based interdisciplinary field of study. It aims at understanding the complexity of biological systems such as individual cells, organs and whole organisms. This four-day workshop combines biology, mathematics and computer science.
Participants analyse the growth behaviour and the enzyme activity of the bacterium Escherichia coli. They get to work in a lab with other students, to learn more about biological processes, develop mathematical models and run computer simulations. First, they collect data through practical work in the laboratory, using techniques such as cell culture, spectrophotometry and quantitative analysis of enzymatic reactions. Then, they learn to analyse the data they generated, to develop mathematical models and to run computer-based simulations. To conclude the week, the budding researchers learn to present the project and their results with scientific posters.
This workshop will take place from 30 March to 2 April on Campus Belval. It will be taught in English.
