Purpose of coursePurpose of course
• Give an overview of Systems Biology, from a Computer Science/Mathematics point of view.
• Show how to model and analyze the different computational mechanisms in the cell.
• Systems biology is a new and very challenging research area in the intersection of Computer Science, Biology and Mathematics
• Enormous potential for practical applications in areas such as Medicin, Pharmacology and Nanotechnology.
