Jensen, P	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/25/21-05/05/21 Credit: 4 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.

Gaj, T	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/25/21-05/05/21 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Quantitative Biotechnology Section Info: Offers first year graduate students in Bioengineering an opportunity to be exposed to the modern biotechnologies which sparked a Renaissance in current biology and biomedicine. For each weekly topic, we will do an in-depth review of various methods including the conventional/traditional protocols and the newly developed techniques. The scientific articles to be reviewed in class emphasize high precision, high spatial/temporal resolution, high-throughput, molecular accuracy, sensitivity and real-time imaging. Two students will be paired up to present each week's article and lead the discussion. The course consists of studies on the Central Dogma of Biology (DNA, RNA, and Protein) as well as cellular organelles and cell imaging. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.

Lu, T	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/25/21-05/05/21 Credit: 4 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 Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
