Description: This class teaches students how to use theoretical and computational methods to understand and analyze biological phenomena at cellular and population levels. The class is based on MATLAB, with a brief refresher provided at the beginning. The topics include the modeling of enzyme kinetics, biochemical reaction networks, gene regulation, stochasticity of gene expression, and evolutionary and epidemiological population dynamics. The final project focuses on image quantification and analysis. This course is intended for the first-year BIOE Ph.D. students only. Cross-list: BIOE 552, SSPB 502.
