Course description

Systems biology aims at an holistic understanding of the dynamics living organisms. This is facilitated by combining approaches from system sciences, life sciences, and information sciences. In this course we focus on the role of systems theory in systems biology. Specifically, we review some of the advances in systems biology that have been achieved during the recent years based on system theoretic considerations. The following is the (tentative) list of topics that will be covered in the course:  Feedback in biochemical (regulatory) networks  Biological oscillators, switches, and rhythm  Population models  Model reduction  Parameter estimation and nonlinear optimization  Structural modeling This course is intended as an advanced course introducing in depth system theoretic methods in systems biology.
