We believe the workshop presentation and handouts we developed are a great resource for those new to biological modelling.
We first gave a presentation covering the following areas:

The feedback we received suggests that people found our workshop interesting and well structured. The part of feedback we scored lowest on was for helping people build their own model, possibly because they are using different software to build models. We also think we could improve the clarity of our handouts to guide people through our prepared exercises more effectively. We enjoyed delivering this workshop and feel the feedback shows our workshop was a success.  We believe the workshop presentation and handouts we developed are a great resource for those new to biological modelling.  We were happy to hear that [https://2013.igem.org/Team:Leeds/Modeling Team:Leeds] began using BioNetGen after some of their team members attended our workshop.

Modelling Workshop at the UK meet up

Overview

On Friday the 12th of July our team was at UCL for the iGEM UK meet up. We delivered a workshop about Mathematical modelling and using the rule-based modelling language BioNetGen. We believe the workshop presentation and handouts we developed are a great resource for those new to biological modelling.

We first gave a presentation covering the following areas:

  • What is modelling?
  • The benefits of rule-based modelling.
  • The difference between deterministic and stochastic modelling.
  • How to build a Michaelis-Menten model with BioNetGen.

NB. Information about modelling the Subtilin system is included in our lecture slides on our wiki for the extra keen but was not covered in our talk.

We then ran a practice session in which we helped people get to grips with the BioNetGen language and the software required to produce models (RuleBender). We provided a hand-out guiding people in how to build a Michaelis-Menten model and a simplified Lac operon model. This workshop also introduced Team:Leeds to BioNetGen which they then used in their project. Workshop2.jpg

A downloadable version can be found here.

Handouts

This is the handout from our modelling workshop:

Feedback

This is the feedback form from our modelling workshop:

A downloadable version can be found here.

After we presented our workshop, attendees filled in their feedback forms scoring different aspects of the workshop between 1 (strongly disagree) and 5 (strongly agree). The mean results from these forms are listed below:

The workshop talk was:
Relevant 4.6
Easy to understand 4.3
Well-paced 4.3
The BioNetGen practice was:
Useful 4.1
Complemented the talk 4.4
The workshop overall:
Was well structured 4.2
Will help you build your own models 3.9
Interesting 4.6
Workshop handouts:
Supported presentation material 4.1
Aided you in building a model 4.0
Were clear and well-organized 4.1
The presenters were:
Knowledgeable 4.3
Well-prepared 4.5
Responsive to participants’ questions 4.6

The feedback we received suggests that people found our workshop interesting and well structured. The part of feedback we scored lowest on was for helping people build their own model, possibly because they are using different software to build models. We also think we could improve the clarity of our handouts to guide people through our prepared exercises more effectively. We enjoyed delivering this workshop and feel the feedback shows our workshop was a success. We believe the workshop presentation and handouts we developed are a great resource for those new to biological modelling. We were happy to hear that Team:Leeds began using BioNetGen after some of their team members attended our workshop.
