Vorbesprechung: 15 Uhr, 19. Oktober (Mittwoch) 2022, Hörsaal A+B, Vienna Biocenter 5, Department of Structural and Computational Biology, Ebene 1, Vienna Biocenter Campus

Course: blocked from 21.11. - 14.12.2022 (2 hours of lectures + 3 hours of exercises every day); lectures: 8- 9.30 Uhr;
exercises: one of three slots (11 - 13.15; 13.30 - 15.45; 16 - 18.15) every day. Groups for exercises will be assigned via an online poll in Moodle on a first-come-first-serve basis. The poll will be made available some 2 weeks before the start of the course.

This is a course with mandatory attendance, but one can miss up to 4 days without an excuse (this counts for both lectures and exercises - if you miss just the lecture or just the exercise on one day, this counts as one day missed). All other absences will be treated on a case-by-case basis and may include additional assignments.

Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Our understanding of fundamental biological processes at the molecular level is becoming progressively quantitative. We can measure with an ever increasing precision the concentrations, lifetimes and energy levels of different molecular players and assess with an ever increasing certainty their cellular locations, molecular partners and functional roles. As a consequence, quantitative approaches have become an indispensable part of modern molecular biology toolkit, with computational modeling and statistical analysis playing a central role. This course aims to develop an in-depth knowledge of the quantitative aspects of molecular processes in biology, the ways to study such processes using analytical and computational models, and the fundamentals of statistical data analysis from both theoretical and practical perspectives. As a means of integrating these three areas, developed and presented in a series of theoretical lectures, the students will learn the elements of Python programming in a set of practical exercises of increasing complexity, which will also enable them to read, critically understand, and modify complex, advanced programs and pipelines as necessary.
