Data Driven Models in Biology
Graduate seminar on methods for building models of biological systems using data, with an emphasis on recent methods including machine learning tools. Students will read and discuss recent literature in this area and, through group discussions, develop strategies for applying methods within their own research domains. Participation in discussion and presentation of at least one paper required for course credit.
Topics
- Describe and explain methods for developing mathematical and machine learning models using biological data.
- Describe recent developments in data-driven modeling and how these methods can be applied to study biological systems.
- Present results of recent scientific studies to their peers (4) discuss applications of data-driven modeling methods within their own research domains.
