Overview:  A demonstration and hands-on session to explore existing infectious disease models in the BioModels repository

Learning outcomes:

By the end of this session, you should be able to:

• Navigate and utilise BioModels as a repository for discovering, accessing, and reusing mathematical models of biological systems across different model types (ODE, stochastic, constraint-based, and machine learning models)
• Understand the principles of FAIR data (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) and how they apply to computational models in life sciences
• Recognise the reproducibility crisis in computational modeling and identify common barriers to reproducibility (missing parameters, structural inconsistencies, missing initial conditions)

Materials:

• Biomodels lecture
