The symposium illustrates results which were obtained during a three week training course with biology, biochemistry and mathematics students. Student training and research was carried out with Matlab and its toolboxes in the Systems Biology Learning Environment that was developed in the course of an SVC (Swiss Virtual Campus) project by the Swiss BioSym team. Details about the BioSym course are available on OLAT. | |||||
