This course is designed to provide computer scientists with a comprehensive introduction to the field of computational biology. The course will cover the application of computational techniques to modern research challenges in biology, discussing both foundational algorithms and newly introduced methods. The necessary background on biology will be provided in order to contextualize the methods.

Computer science has played a pivotal role in developing innovative technologies to monitor patients' health conditions beyond the traditional laboratory or clinical environments. The development of clinically valid digital biomarkers can enable a wide range of applications, including the implementation of targeted behavioral interventions to drive substantial improvements in health-related outcomes, monitoring the progress of individuals undergoing interventions, and assessing the efficacy of emerging therapeutic interventions as an endpoint.

This course provides an in-depth examination of the issues in system security, and assumes prior knowledge of operating system concepts. We will start with learning the classic approaches to security attacks and defenses from the perspective of a single host system. Topics include access control, information flow control, system auditing, privilege separation, security policies, host-based intrusion detection etc.
