Start of the SyCo course 2026! - Our intensive two-week course on Systems and Computational Biology is back for its 2026 edition.

Our published research was referenced 2 times this week - a quiet but appreciated form of recognition:

“Enhancing soybean (Glycine max L.) yield and quality through optimized weed-free periods and sowing techniques” - Muhammad Awais Arshad et al. (Frontiers in Plant Science) - citing our “Improving photosynthetic efficiency toward food security: Strategies, advances, and perspectives”
“The Stochastic System Identification Toolkit (SSIT) to model, fit, predict, and design experiments” - Alex Popinga et al. (bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)) - citing our “Constructing and analysing dynamic models with modelbase v1.2.3: a software update”
