Course Details Instructor: Leonor Saiz (lsaiz@ucdavis.edu). Office: 2315 Genome and Biomedical Sciences Building. Phone: 530-7526700. Units: 4.0 CRN: 37838 Note: This course is advertised as BIM 289C Part 1 in the UC Davis Spring 2008 class schedule and registration guide. Time: Tuesday and Thursday: 4:10PM-6:00PM Location: 3206 Genome and Biomedical Sciences Building Course description This new course is designed to give an interdisciplinary overview of the state-of-the-art methods for quantitative computational modeling of gene regulation and signal transduction networks at different levels of organization. The course will provide the students with both the essential biological knowledge and the computational tools for modeling, controlling, and designing cellular behavior, ranging from molecular mechanisms to the dynamics of cell populations. Selected examples from the recent literature on diverse topics, covering classic genetic systems, synthetic circuits, and signal transduction networks disrupted in disease and cancer, will be discussed in detail. Students with backgrounds in any of the broad fields of physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology, computer science or engineering are encouraged to enroll. List of topics covered Coming soon: Tentative list of topics. More details Tuesday June 3rd: Lecture 19 on "Dynamics of cell populations" and "Developmental networks and pattern formation" (cont.). Recommended reading: Chapter 1, Introduction to Matematical Biology by S.I. Rubinow, Dover. Materials from previous lectures are available at the course website on SmartSite.
