CS 623 - Computational Systems Biology

Prerequisite, BIOL 208, or equivalent, or consent of instructor. Computational Systems Biology is to understand complex biological systems that require the integration of experimental and computational research. This course aims to develop and use efficient algorithms, data structures, and visualization and communication tools to orchestrate the integration of large quantities of biological data with the goal of computer modeling of biological systems. Students will learn how to use computer simulations of biological systems to analyze as well as visualize the complex connections of such systems and cellular processes. (Offered as needed.) 3 credits
