FSK3516 Mathematical Modeling in Cellular Biophysics 6.0 credits
Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
Training in the use of current modelling tools: various simulation and modeling toolboxes in Matlab, Comsol multiphysics, eCell, mCell and VirtualCell.
Intended learning outcomes
The course will provide an introduction to deeper studies of various tools for modeling of biological processes, with a focus on the modeling of cell physiology. The aim of the course for the student to ultimately be able to choose the right tools for in-depth studies of cellular systems.
Literature and preparations
Specific prerequisites
The student should have been accepted as a PhD student.
Recommended prerequisites
Equipment
Literature
Distributed material as well as online material for the various tools
Examination and completion
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Grading scale
Examination
