Course Description

This course involves the student working in teams with other students on the course, and with their project supervisor, to develop a mathematical model of the biological systems that will form the basis of their summer research project. Supported by a series of 'advice surgeries' and workshops, the student will design a model representation of their systems, develop and code the model, before finally parameterising it and moving to first steps in model validation. The model development exercise will be written up in the form of a paper, and a presentation given of the research undertaken. Assessment will be undertaken of the presentation, and of the manuscript describing the research.
