Lecture Outline

Session 1: Modeling and Analysis using Differential Equations

Elisa and Maria: Please put together a one paragraph summary of your session (abstract-like) that describes the basic areas that you will cover, in words. A more specific listing of topics that you will cover can go below, under the individual lectures. You should update the topics that I listed based on what you will actually cover (probably a more focused list, given the time constraints)

Lecture 1: Core Processes in Cells (Elisa Franco, Caltech) This lecture will provide an introduction to modeling of core processes in biology using differential equations. Specific topics to be covered include:

  • The Cell as a Dynamical System
  • Modeling Techniques: reactions, master equation, differential equations
  • Transcription and Translation
  • Transcriptional Regulation
  • Post-Transcriptional and Post-Translational Regulation
  • Cellular Subsystems (?)

Lecture 2: Analysis Methods (Maria Rodriguez Fernandez, UCSB)

  • sensitivity analysis
  • robustness analysis
  • identifiability and design of experiment
  • parameter identification

Session 2:

Linda and Min: Please put together a one paragraph summary of your session (abstract-like) that describes the basic areas that you will cover, in words. A more specific listing of topics that you will cover can go below, under the individual lectures (as done above)

Lecture 3: Discrete stochastic simulation algorithms (Linda Petzold, UCSB)

Lecture 4: Stochkit (Min Roh, UCSB)

Session 3:

Lecture 5:

Lecture 6:

Session 4: Applications

Lecture 7:

Lecture 8:

Lecture 9:
