Computational Science: Systems Biology - Models and Computations

This course introduces how mathematical and physics-based methods can be applied to biological processes. You will work with computer models to simulate how chemical substances interact in cells and how groups of living organisms – such as animals, plants, or humans – grow and evolve.

The course covers both models based on clear rules (deterministic) and those where chance plays a role (stochastic). You will also learn how to adjust models to better match real-world data. Through hands-on exercises, you will practise using these methods to analyse biological systems through computational simulations.

Prerequisites

Admission to the course requires 90 credits Sciencestudies, including knowledge equivalent to BERN01 Modelling in Computational Science, 7.5 credits or FYTN03 Computational physics, 7.5 credits and English 6/B. Admission to the course also requires knowledge in programming in Python equivalent to NUMA01, 7.5 credits or similar knowledge in Matlab, C++ or the like programming language.
