SGN-6186 Mathematical Modeling of Cellular Systems, 5 cr

Person responsible

Tiina Manninen

Implementations

  Lecture times and places Target group recommended to
Implementation 1


Per 1 :
Monday 10 - 12, TB222
Monday 10 - 12, TB223

 
 


Requirements

Final examination, weekly exercises, and an assignment.
Completion parts must belong to the same implementation

Learning outcomes

After completing the course, the student will be able to create mathematical models, both deterministic and stochastic, of cellular systems, implement them, and solve their behavior computationally by running simulations. Systems include signal transduction, metabolism, and single cells. Morover, the student is able to explain the differences between deterministic and stochastic methods. After the course, the student has the necessary skills to use MATLAB environment in modeling.

Content

Content Core content Complementary knowledge Specialist knowledge
1. Biological background of different cellular systems.     
2. Deterministic and stochastic methods to model the dynamical behavior of cellular systems.     
3. Simulation of deterministic and stochastic models.     


Evaluation criteria for the course

The final grade comes from the exam. The grade is incremented by one if weekly exercises and assignment are done.

Assessment scale:

Numerical evaluation scale (1-5) will be used on the course

Partial passing:

Completion parts must belong to the same implementation
