BMEn 2501/5501 "Cellular and Molecular Biology for Biomedical Engineers" (4 cr/3 cr) This course introduces cellular and molecular biology to an engineering audience and from and engineering perspective. Emphasis is on the physical and chemical basis of cellular process, including the importance of diffusion, thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, and mechanical forces. The undergraduate version has an integrated laboratory, and the graduate version has additional papers that are required. BMEn 5351 "Cell Engineering" (3 cr) This course introduces students to the modeling and analysis of cellular processes from a molecular perspective. Primary literature is reviewed, and students learn how to model cellular processes using differential equations and Monte Carlo simulations. I have established a "Cell Modeling Collaborative" where experimentalists who are interested in developing mathematical and computational models for cellular processes advise students on a modeling project. Please contact me if you are interested in participating (oddex002@umn.edu). |
