The annual meeting consisting of intensive courses, fruitful research and management discussions and getting to know each other better was a great success.
The First EpiPredict annual meeting included:
- Workshop ‘Modelling Epigenetics’ by Prof. Hans Westerhoff et al.
- Workshop ‘Epigenetic interference’ by Prof. Rots, Dr Kiss and Dr Verschure

- The first annual EpiPredict project meeting
3-day Modelling Epigenetics workshop, 2-4 Feb 2016
This workshop is intended for PhD-students and will involve hands-on modelling and lecture-based explanation of completed exercises.
The training introduces principles of generic modelling experiment frameworks, usage of experimental data in models and model analysis, data management and integration. The fellows will formulate and solve their own specific problems.
Organisers: Prof. Dr Hans Westerhoff, Dr Pernette Verschure
