Other Activities
I was invited to organise and present a workshop on Flux Balance Analysis at the BioSysBio 2007 Conference, Manchester, UK.
I am the founder and organiser of a network of researchers of Biological Modelling in MIB and in the University of Manchester. The network provides a platform for its members to network, and further explore the field of biological modelling, and organises lectures and events related to the common interests of its members.
