The two-session workshop will primarily focus on introducing participants to basic numerical methods for solving Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) and Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) using Google Colab. During the first section, we will provide an overview of fundamental concepts related to ODEs and PDEs, followed by a practical demonstration of ODE solvers in Python, including a specific example involving the modeling of Ca2+ oscillations. In the second section of the workshop, we will focus on solving simple PDE models within a regular domain, using the finite difference method. The primary goal of this workshop is to facilitate the understanding of mathematical modeling techniques among entry-level students and those who may not have prior modeling experience. Hopefully, by the end of the workshop, participants will be equipped with the skills necessary to tackle basic mathematical modeling challenges using Python and Google Colab.

We recently reported the design of a biosensor consisting of a plant SWEET and a conformation-sensitive fluorescent protein that translates sugar binding to the transporter into a fluorescence response. We named this biosensor SweetTrac1 and showed with a mass action […] cbe.nd.edu Brent T.
