This interdisciplinary summer school introduces the emerging field of cellular
economics, focusing on how cells allocate limited resources to support
growth and function. The program is designed for students and researchers
with backgrounds in biological sciences, physics, engineering, mathematics,
or economics..

Participants will gain an overview of key concepts in cellular
economics—from enzyme allocation in metabolic networks to models of
cellular growth and dynamic behavior.

Lectures will be based on the chapters of our collaborative open-access
textbook, Economic Principles in Cell Biology
