In the course/tutorial, a general introduction to the concept of numerical modelling in biology will be given. For simulations, the programming environment MATLAB will be used, with emphasis on deterministic models. Students will be given exercises to model the physical processes related to various biological phenomena, and to evaluate the potential of the corresponding model for prediction of the behaviour of biological systems.
Examples encompass basic chemistry of amino acids, biophysics of cell membranes, modelling of polymers, as well as signalling and transport.
