Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

The course is an extension of the course SI1336 Simulation and modeling and requires that the student has either completed SI1336 or is registered for SI1336 at the same time as this course. The course consists of a modeling and simulation project within biological systems. The student must develop the project themselves, which may, for example, deal with populations or reactions in a cell. Particular focus is placed on discovering and understanding sensitivities of models for biological systems.

Intended learning outcomes

After passing the course, the student must be able to:

  • Model and simulate biological systems in a quantitative way
  • Analyze and discuss sensitivities of models
