BIOE 498 class schedule data for spring 2021
CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
39551	Online	PJ	1:00PM -1:50PM	MWF	n.a.	Jensen, P	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/25/21-05/05/21 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Exprmnt Design & Optimization Section Info: All engineers perform experiments. Whether they be “wet-lab” or simulated, experiments test the limits of our hypotheses and drive our understanding. Often engineers want to go beyond validating their theories and models. Engineers want the best designs – the optimal combination of cost, reliability, performance, and usability. This course presents a systematic framework for optimizing experiments and models. Using both experimental data and computer simulations, students will explore methods to efficiently search large design spaces.
44074	Online	QP	2:00PM -3:20PM	TR	n.a.	Smith, A	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/25/21-05/05/21 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Quant Pharmacology Section Info: This course provides an introduction to interactions between living organisms and substances (drugs) that impact physiology and disease. Concepts will be integrated from equilibrium thermodynamics, kinetics, mass transfer, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and structural biology to understand drug design and function. Students will develop skills in quantitative aspects of medicinal chemistry, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics through mathematical problem solving and computer simulations. Students will further design and critically assess innovative solutions for current challenges in pharmacology. Materials and content are designed for senior-level undergraduates and graduate students from diverse majors. Recommended Prerequisites: CS 101, CS 125, or BIOE 198MI, and CHEM 232 or CHEM 236, and MCB 150, and MATH 231 Restriction(s): Restricted to BS:Bioengineering - UIUC.
51297	Online	RI	9:30AM -10:50AM	TR	n.a.	Amos, J	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/25/21-05/05/21 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Regulatory and Safety Issues Section Info: Overview of regulatory agencies involved in approval of medical products. Approaches to safety and risk analysis for medical products. Students will learn from case studies of medical product approvals and perform risk analysis for medical products. Prerequisite: BIOE 435 and BIOE 436 completed or concurrent enrollment. Restriction(s): Restricted to BS:Bioengineering - UIUC.
68833	Online	TL	5:00PM -6:20PM	TR	n.a.	Lu, T	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/25/21-05/05/21 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Systems Biology Section Info: Systems biology is the study of systems of biological components, which may be molecules, cells, organisms or entire species. Being highly complex, their behaviors are hard to predict from the properties of individual parts. Instead, it often requires holistic, quantitative measurements mathematical modeling of the groups of the interacting components. This course offers an introduction to the fundamental concepts, quantitative characterizations, and modeling methodologies underlying systems biology. Systems of study include modules and global structures ubiquitous in gene regulation, metabolism and signal transduction. Examples include functional modules such as feed-forward loops, switches and oscillators and systems composed of these modules. Mathematical models based on differential equations are used throughout the course to describe the dynamics of biological systems. A series of functional properties emerging from biological systems including modularity, ultrasensitivity, robustness, adaptation and optimality are examined and discussed. Altogether, the course outlines basic design principles ubiquitous in biological networks. Course Prerequisite: MATH 285 or equivalent Restriction(s): Restricted to BS:Bioengineering - UIUC.
