LEARNING OUTCOMES
After the course students will have a comprehensive understanding of fundamental methodological concepts underlying modeling of biological networks and systems. Students will learn to choose appropriate modeling methods for a variety of small- and large-scale problems as well as for different types of experimental data. Students will learn to apply various computational and statistical modeling methods in real interdisciplinary biological problems and have sufficient knowledge to explore the topic further.
