Introduction to Systems Biology

This course provides an introduction to the biological and theoretical concepts of Systems Biology. It covers the biological basics, benefits and limitations of mathematical modelling of biochemical networks, fundamentals of mathematical modelling of biochemical networks and an introduction to model parameterization, simulation and analysis.

The following topics will be covered in the run of the course:

  • What is Systems Biology?
  • Biological basics in a nutshell
  • Biochemical fundamentals
  • Benefits and limitations of mathematical modelling in Biology
  • Mathematical models in Systems Biology
  • Dynamic modelling of biochemical networks, reaction kinetics
  • Model parameterization, model analysis and simulation
