02-252 Introduction to Computational Cell Biology
6 units, Carnegie Mellon University
This 6unit minicourse presents an overview of important modeling and image analysis applications of computers to solve problems in cell biology. Along with 02251, it makes up one half of the full Introduction to Computational Biology, 02250, although either half can be taken individually.Major topics covered are computer models of population dynamics, biochemical kinetics, cell pathways, neuron behavior, and stochastic simulations. The imaging component includes basics of machine vision, morphological image analysis, image classification and imagederived models. It includes homeworks requiring modification of scripts to perform computational analyses. Lectures and examinations are joint with 03252 but recitations are separate. Recitations for this course are intended primarily for computer science, statistics or engineering majors at the undergraduate or graduate level who have had significant prior experience with computer science or programming. Students may not take both 0225203252 and 0225003250 for credit.
Prerequisites: 03-121 and (15-110 or 15-112 or 02-201)
