Mathematical Modelling for Bioengineering and Systems Biology
Last Updated: 2026-02-05 15:35:52
Abstract
Basic concepts and mathematical tools to explore biochemical reaction kinetics and biological network dynamics.
Objective
The course enables students to formulate, analyse, and simulate mathematical models of biochemical networks. To this end, the course covers basic mathematical concepts and tools to explore biochemical reaction dynamics as well as basic concepts from dynamical systems theory. The exercises serve to deepen the understanding of the presented concepts and the mathematical methods, and to train students to numerically solve and simulate mathematical models.
Content
Biochemical Reaction Modelling Basic Concepts from Linear Algebra & Differential Equations Mathematical Methods: Linear Stability Analysis, Phase Plane Analysis, Bifurcation Analysis Dynamical Systems: Switches, Oscillators, Adaptation Signal Propagation in Signalling Networks Parameter Estimation
