Introduction to Mathematical Biology I: Discrete Models

Objective

Mathematical biology aims at deciphering the organizational principles of biological systems through mathematical modeling and analysis, using various applied mathematical techniques and tools. The lecture series (I-II) focuses on discrete and continuous models.
This semester's lecture focuses on discrete models such as cellular automata and applications from collective cell migration and biological pattern formation to cancer. The lecture is suitable for - but not restricted to - (under)graduates in biology, mathematics, physics, medicine, and computer science. Together with an accompanying tutorial, participants receive a profound introduction to modern biomathematical concepts.

Date, Time & Location

Lecture: Every Tuesday, starting October 15
