BNG 423: Biosystems Modeling and Design - spring

Prerequisite: BNG 311, 318; MTH 212

Computer-based modeling of biological systems and examination of signal characteristics from biosystems and biomedical instrumentation. Use of object-oriented computer modeling (e.g., Python and Biopython) to examine behavior of cells and other biosystems, including transcription and translation, biological sequence comparison, and signal processing. Computational signals and systems labs will be assigned to analyze biomedical signals and other biosystem aspects using tools like MatLab and Simulink. The course focuses on computer literacy and enhancement of proficiency in using modeling and simulation tools.
