Title: Coarse-graining stochastic biochemical reaction networks in the
adiabatic limit

Abstract: In this talk, I will demonstrate a prescription for accurate
coarse-grained simulation of stochastic kinetic systems with time scale
separation. I will show how to integrate out the fast degrees of
freedom, while rigorously preserving their effects on the fluctuations
of slower variables. This procedure allows to speed up simulation of
kinetic networks many-fold and reveals a number of interesting
phenomena, previously unobserved in the context of classical stochastic
kinetics.
