With ever increasing frequency, cell biology researchers are finding the value in predictive computational modeling. Such an approach is a significant step in identifying and confirming the rules that govern life. A current limitation in this approach is a lack of training in the necessary methodology. The purpose of the proposed workshop/conferences is to bring together researchers who seek training in computational methods with those researchers that have this expertise. The expected outcome of this work will be to increase the number of cell biological researchers who have expertise in computational methods and who can, in turn, further increase the number of laboratories in the country who are familiar with these modern computational methods. The effort will involve a sequence of workshops that are designed to provide training in computational modeling methods to novices. Prior to the first meeting the participants will be asked to prepare for the meeting, both in preparing short statement of their own modeling interests, along with reading selected papers. During the first workshops, the novices will be paired with experienced modelers who will help develop a collaborative workplan for the following year. In subsequent meeting in years 2 and 3, the teams will come together and present their results and obtain feedback from the group, which will guide further computational work on their respective projects. The expected outcome will be the development of productive collaborations along with the training of more researchers who can carry out computational modeling in the field of cell biology.

随着频率的不断增加，细胞生物学研究人员正在发现预测计算模型的价值。 这种方法是识别和确认生活规则的重要一步。 这种方法目前的局限性是缺乏必要方法的培训。 拟议的研讨会/会议的目的是将寻求计算方法培训的研究人员与拥有此专业知识的研究人员聚集在一起。 这项工作的预期成果将是增加拥有计算方法专业知识的细胞生物学研究人员的数量，进而进一步增加该国熟悉这些现代计算方法的实验室数量。这项工作将涉及一系列研讨会，旨在为新手提供计算建模方法的培训。 在第一次会议之前，参与者将被要求为会议做好准备，包括准备简短的陈述自己的建模兴趣，并阅读选定的论文。 在第一个研讨会期间，新手将与经验丰富的建模师配对，他们将帮助制定下一年的协作工作计划。 在随后的第二年和第三年的会议中，团队将聚集在一起展示他们的结果并获得小组的反馈，这将指导各自项目的进一步计算工作。 预期的结果将是发展富有成效的合作，并培训更多能够在细胞生物学领域进行计算建模的研究人员。
