This course is intended to provide an introduction to dynamic mathematical modeling of cellular processes. The emphasis is on using computational tools to investigate models of cellular phenomena. Throughout the semester, students will develop skills to construct and analyze models of cellular networks, including: metabolic networks, signal transduction pathways, gene regulatory networks, and electrophysiology.

This course is intended to lead students through the process of design including identification, invention and implementation of new solutions to biomedical challenges. Students will work on identifying a need in the field, understanding the design challenges and how to design a potential solution. This will cover ethics of design, regulations of design, searching for existing solutions, standards, a stakeholder analysis, market analysis and need, concept generation and screening. Students will learn how to include globalization and innovation into designs.
