Content | Systems biology is a joint project of diverse scientific disciplines with the aim of being able to draw conclusions about the expected phenotype from the totality of all the building blocks of life. To this end, computer models of the life forms under consideration are used, the simulation of which provides information about the diverse processes in living systems. This proseminar offers a broad insight into diverse areas of computational systems biology. Selected topics will introduce fundamental techniques for modeling and simulation, including constraint-based modeling, kinetic modeling, the stochastic Gillespie algorithm, sampling techniques, and potential applications in biotechnology and health care. Students will present and discuss recent publications in combination with the fundamentals of theories, methods, and algorithms behind them. Through discussions of selected publications, students will learn to use computational modeling as a tool and be able to incorporate experimental data into the models. - Learn fundamental concepts in biological network modeling for an integrative approach to the study of living systems. |
