ADVANCED TOPICS IN QUANTITATIVE BIOLOGY

Course Description

How do Scientists use quantitative approaches to solve complex biological problems? In this colloquium we will focus on two subfields of quantitative biology. The first half focuses on Therapeutic Design and Translational Research, covering topics such as modeling disease progression and drug responses, computational drug discovery, and protein design using Artificial Intelligence. The second half focuses on Bioinformatics and Genomics, focusing on analyzing biological sequences

Prior programming experience and introductory biology are recommended but not necessary.

This is a student-led colloquium led by Matthew Unger (matthew_unger@ucsb.edu) and Griffin Kramer (griffinkramer@ucsb.edu) under the supervision of Professor Claudia Tyler.
