Why is it so difficult to lose weight and keep it off? Our recent study of the “Biggest Loser” contestants demonstrated powerful biological responses that resist weight loss by increasing appetite and slowing metabolism. This presentation will discuss experimental and mathematical modeling studies that quantify the relative magnitude of the biological responses to weight loss and their role in the feedback control of human body weight.
Dear Colleagues,
The Center for Reproducible Biomedical Modeling would like to invite you to participate in a monthly online cell modeling seminar beginning Tuesday November 6th.
Predictive models of cells are needed to understand biology, rationally design microorganisms, and precisely treat disease. Numerous challenges must be overcome to develop predictive models of entire cells. This seminar aims to stimulate discussion about how to overcome these challenges and foster an interdisciplinary cell modeling community.

The Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH) is the leading interprofessional association for simulation professionals. SSH has 3,700 international members, including physicians, nurses, technologists, professors and other specialists advocating healthcare simulation application in education, practice and research.
This talk will cover the background to the creation of the Virtual Physiological Human Institute (VPHi), what its vision and objectives are, and how it has been influential in driving forward the modelling and simulation agenda in Europe. I will also outline its key role in a significant European Commission funded project that led to the establishment of the Avicenna Alliance, an industry focused alliance with academia that is focusing on influencing policy development supporting the use of in silico approaches in healthcare.

Title: Tuning the entropic spring to dictate order and functionality in polymer conjugated peptide biomaterials
This workshop introduces participants to the Neuroscience Gateway (NSG), which is being developed for the computational neuroscience community with funding from the National Science Foundation. The NSG provides an easy and user-friendly environment to access XSEDE high performance computing (HPC) resources to run computational neuroscience software such as NEURON, GENESIS, MOOSE etc. The NSG's simple web-based interface makes it quick and easy to create an account, upload neuronal model code, run simulations and get back results.
