label Diverse autorenew 2025-09-29, 17:01 history_edu Silviu Marinescu
Discoveries in the biological sciences increasingly require combining sophisticated technologies, quantitative measurements, and theoretical approaches such as bioinformatics, mathematical modelling and computer simulations. Hence, modern Life Sciences research faces the challenge to integrate different scientific disciplines and foster collaborative projects between biologists, chemists, physicists, computer scientists and mathematicians to make biology a quantitative natural science discipline. This course gives you a one week introduction into the approaches and research questions in this modern field of "quantitative biology". We aim at students having completed a bachelor program in any of the sciences with a genuine interest in interdisciplinary work.
