The aim of the course is to get to know basic mathematical and algorithmic concepts in the field of modeling, simulation and analysis of molecular networks in the context of algorithmic systems biology. The students learn to analyse a biological or medical problem, to select and implement a suitable modelling approach for given data and to assess and communicate the results.
Contents:
Topics from the following areas are dealt with in depth:
- Modelling of biochemical networks with common differential equations
- Discrete modelling of regulatory networks
- Constraint-based modeling of metabolic networks
- Stochastic and hybrid modelling
