1. Introduction & Purposes
This course intends to introduce system biology to mathematicians. Some applications will also be mentioned.
2. Outline & Descriptions
Biological systems have the ability to form spatial patterns, respond to stimuli, and adapt to new environments. Systems biologists seek to understand how molecular networks give rise to these behaviors. Simple mathematical models can be useful in hypothesizing fundamental principles and making predictions that can be experimentally tested.
We will go through several case studies that show how mathematical modeling was applied successfully to understand complex biological systems. In the mornings we will lecture and have discussions. In the afternoon, students will have hands-on opportunities to develop and play with these models
