Economic Principles in Cell Biology          

Our second second summer school on “Economic principles in cell biology” took place in July 2023 at the Learning Planet Institute Paris and online (hybrid). Like the previous summer school in 2022 and the following schools in 2024 and 2025, it was related to the open textbook “Economic principles in cell biology” on cellular physiology and resource allocation, developed by an international group of researchers as a resource for learning and teaching.

The summer schools are open to undergraduate and graduate students as well as to postdoctoral researchers with a natural sciences background (including biological sciences, physics, engineering, or mathematics). It focuses on mathematical modeling of cellular systems (without wet experiments) and shows how mathematical models and “resource allocation thinking” can help you understand cell physiology.
