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 during 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
- Sensitivity analysis
- Parameter identification
- Stochastic and discrete modeling and simulation
- Qualitative and structural model analysis
- ... and much more!
