CMSC703

An introduction to the computational network analysis and modeling of biological systems focusing on transcriptional, protein, signaling and metabolic networks (with primary emphasis on integrating the former within the latter). Computational methods studied for this type of analysis include: network and graph algorithms, network-based machine learning approaches, modeling dynamical systems, numerical optimization (linear, integer and quadratic programming) and a variety of other methods used to solve constraint based problems (primarily in the context of studying metabolic networks). These methods are complementary to those studied in CMSC701 and CMSC702.
