In this advanced course detailed experiments in evolution, genetics, cellular decision making, and gene expression will be conducted. The course consists of both "wet" lab experiments and computer simulations on the same topics. Similarly, lectures on the biological background will be presented both from the experimental and the theoretical perspectives. At the end of the course, participants will present their work. Participants of this course get hands-on experience with state-of-the-art experimental and computational techniques in biological physics.
Contents of the course:
Conducting evolution experiments, evolution of drug resistance
Modelling population genetics and evolution
Statistical analysis of experiments
Teaching methods:
Wet lab, computer simulations, lectures, seminar
