BIMS3413 - Systems Biology

BIMS 3413 Systems Biology (4 semester credit hours) Experimental and computational approaches, with emphasis on typical computational systems modeling; Topics include: design of interaction diagrams; identification of variables; parameters and processes; design of systems models in the format of ordinary differential equations; the concepts of approximation, steady states, stability, sensitivity, and robustness; computational generation and evaluation of transients; and the simulation of representative biomedical scenarios. All concepts are explored with computational hands-on exercises and executed with a user-friendly software program. Prerequisites: (BIOL 2281 or CHEM 2401 equivalent) and (BIOL 2311 or equivalent) and (BIOL 2312 or equivalent) and (MATH 2417 or equivalent). (Same as BIOL 3413) (4-0) F
