BIOE 552 - INTRO SYSTEMS BIOLOGY MODELING
Long Title: INTRO COMPUTATIONAL SYSTEMS BIOLOGY: MODELING & DESIGN PRINCIPLES OF BIOCHEM NETWORKS
Department: Bioengineering
Grade Mode: Standard Letter
Language of Instruction: Taught in English
Course Type: Lecture
Credit Hours: 3
Restrictions:
Must be enrolled in one of the following Level(s):
Graduate
Description: The course summarizes techniques for quantitative analysis and simulations of basic circuits in genetic regulation, signal transduction and metabolism. We discuss engineering approaches adapted to computational systems biology and aim to formulate evolutionary design principles explaining organization of networks in terms of their physiological demands. We discuss biochemical simulation methodology and software as well as recent advances in the field. Topics include end-product inhibition in biosynthesis, optimality and robustness of the signaling networks and kinetic proofreading. Same as 490 but with more emphasis on recent advances in the field - paper reading and presentations. Cross-list: SSPB 502, Graduate/Undergraduate Equivalency: BIOE 490. Recommended Prerequisite(s): Basic knowledge of biochemistry, cell biology, linear algebra, and ordinary differential equations is expected. Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for BIOE 552 if student has credit for BIOE 490.
