MSS 255 - Modeling and Simulation of Biological Systems
Prerequisites: MATH 214 OR MATH 218, AND MSS 200
Requirement Fulfillment: Major
Delivery: Lecture
This course provides an introduction to the mathematical concepts and approaches used in constructing and analyzing models in molecular and cellular systems biology. An overview of fundamental biological aspects is covered, as well as the basics of mathematical modeling of specific domains including metabolic networks, enzyme kinetics, intra-cellular signaling pathways, operons, the cell-cycle, neural action potentials, and myocardiocytes. Students will learn how choose appropriate mathematical modeling approaches for a particular application, and also how to implement models into computational software for simulation and assessment. Models will be motivated by and connected to current work in the pharmaceuticals industry and relevant biomedical fields. Minimum Passing Grade: D-
