Course Description

This course focuses on intensive study of the primary literature to learn from published examples of systems biology and the application of mathematics in biology. A series of published systems biology papers will form case studies as the basis of this course. Supported by tutorials, the students will study in detail 6 key papers in systems biology, developing presentations on this material and other linked papers to support their learning. In parallel, students will also carry out a series of quantitative analyses of biological systems in computer workshops, providing the students with skills needed for model parameterisation. The course will also contain significant statistical analysis content, taught through the computer workshops. Assessment will be by essay exam.
