| Content | Systems Biology has established itself in the past ten - fifteen years as the field in which large-scale quantitative measurements at multiple levels are analyzed in the context of mathematical models to reach a better, more predictive understanding of biological systems. This lecture provides an introduction to current topics and methods in computational systems biology. It will introduce the student to topics ranging from evolution and scaling laws in biological systems to quantitative approaches that employ biophysical methods with the aim of building an understanding of how the behavior biological systems can be described quantitatively. Pre-requisites are a good mathematical background (e.g. acquired through the Computational Biology I and II lecture series) as well as basic training in biology. |
