Course abstract
Modelling of biosystems is a powerful mean for deeper understanding of functionality of biological objects in different modelling scales: intracellular, intercellular, tissues, organs, organisms, populations and ecosystems. Peculiarities and common features of modelling in different scales will be highlighted paying special attention to the choice of appropriate software for each particular scale of modelling.
Learning outcomes and their assessment
• Knowledge about peculiarities of modelling of biosystems in different scales as well as interconnections of models of different scales;
• skills to choose appropriate modelling scale and software depending on the process of interest as well as interpret the results of modelling; • competence to use Matlab and open access software solving biological problems working alone or in a group, ability to justify the meaning and economical effect of modelling communicating with representatives of bioprocess related industry representatives.
