FSK3517 Simulations of Cellular Biophysics with Virtualcell 4.0 credits

The course will provide skills in using the virtual cell simulation and modeling environment. Virtual Cell is a NIH-initiated tool for modeling and analysis in cell biology developed at the National Resource Center for Cell Analysis and Modeling at Univ of Connecticut

The aim of the course is for the student to be able to use Virtual Cell to explain and illustrate complex relationships between different control systems in a cell. In addition, the student should be able to analyze and predict how a change in the control system will affect the cell response and design attempts with living cells to test the prediction.

The student should be enrolled to PhD studies.
