BME 260L
Modeling Cellular and Molecular Systems
Ella A. Saterbak, Ophelia Shalini Venturelli
Description from DukeHub
An introduction to the application of engineering models to study cellular and molecular processes. Topics covered include the conservation of mass and energy, kinetic analysis of reactions, and enzyme kinetics. Students complete projects in which they write and solve differential equations that model complex biological systems. Applications to biotechnology are discussed. Corequisite: Biomedical Engineering 244L and Mathematics 212 or 219 or 222. Prerequisite: Biology 201L or 203L; or consent of the instructor.
