DETAILS OF THE SUMMER SCHOOL
BIOMEDICAL MODELING and CARDIOVASCULAR-RESPIRATORY CONTROL:
THEORY and PRACTICE
JULY 22 to AUGUST 4, 2007
Third Registration
Period for the Summer School has begun (deadline June 15, 2007)
THE 14 DAY SUMMER SCHOOL INCLUDES:
- 11 days of summer school including 9 days of classes held from July 22 through August 1
- The 11 summer school days are followed by 3 days where school students
participate in a scientific workshop August 2
to August 4 on the same scientific theme with talks by current researchers.
Summer School Structure
- The summer school component is aimed primarily toward PhD students and new Post-Docs.
- The school explores issues, problems, and methodologies for modeling and parameter estimation of complex physiological systems with a primary emphasis on cardiovascular-respiratory control. However, the techniques and theory can be extended to many fields. Hence,
potential participants from related physiological research disciplines are welcome to apply.
- FINANCIAL SUPPORT for summer schoool students is available.
For details see the Support Page.
- Attendance at the 3 day workshop will give school participants an opportunity to apply what they have learned as well as the
opportunity to meet a number of current researchers in the field.
- The three day workshop will include approximately 16 presentations from scientists actively involved in research
in the focus theme of the event.
Application to the School
TO ATTEND THE SCHOOL, STUDENTS MUST FOLLOW THE
SCHOOL WEB APPLICATION PROCEDURE
Scientific Focus
The scientific focus of the school will be on providing the school student with an understanding of the theory and
practice of modeling physiological control systems with a primary application of studying clinical problems related to the
cardiovascular and respiratory control systems. Important clinical conditions that can be represented as control problems
include short-term blood pressure control, blood volume control during hemorrhage or hemodialysis, transfusion treatment
regimens, and sleep apnea. A deeper quantitative understanding of control processes in cardiovascular-respiratory physiology
is key for developing new and more effective treatment methods and for improving diagnosis.
