Analysis of Biomolecular and Cellular Systems
MIT OpenCourseWare offers this Biological Engineering course covering computational and experimental analysis of biological systems across genetic, molecular, cellular, and cell population scales. The two central themes are modeling of complex dynamic systems and protein design and engineering. Topics include gene sequence analysis, molecular modeling, metabolic and gene regulation networks, signal transduction pathways, and cell populations in tissues, with emphasis on experimental methods and quantitative computational modeling. Materials include lecture notes, assignments, and readings drawn from MIT's course, published under a CC BY-NC-SA license. The course suits students with a background in biology or engineering who want a rigorous, quantitative approach to systems-level biology rather than a purely descriptive treatment.
