Introduction to Mathematical Biology II: Stochastic lattice-based models

 

 

Objective

The life sciences are rapidly turning from qualitative to quantitative sciences. To integrate the increasing amount of data in a systematic way, development, application and analysis of mathematical models are required. The focus of the lecture series (I-IV) is to get acquainted with important mathematical models (continuous models (differential and partial differential equations), stochastic processes, discrete models (cellular automata) and complex networks). Together with accompanying tutorials participants receive a profound introduction to modern biomathematical concepts.

This semester's course on “stochastic lattice-based models” focuses on Markov chains, probabilistic cellular automata and interacting particle systems and their applications to the analysis of biological cell systems. This course is suitable for but not restricted to (under)graduates in biology, mathematics, physics, medical and computer science.
