Quantitative Methods in Cell and Molecular Biology: Introduction and Dynamics (Half-Term)

Modern biology research increasingly relies on quantitative tools to make precise measurements of cell state. These measurements in turn enable us to more rigorously evaluate how gene and protein networks carry out complex tasks. This course aims to provide an introduction to the experimental techniques and computational methods that enable the quantitative study of biological systems. We employ the learned skills to analyze sequencing data for studying gene networks within and across species, and modeling biochemical reactions to study the dynamics of gene and protein networks.
