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. Restriction(s): Restricted to students in the Bioengineering department. Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.

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.
