This will be an introductory course targeted to students from the M. Sc. to post-doctoral levels with either biological or exact sciences backgrounds who wish to acquire skills in Computational Biology. It will have four components: Introductory lectures on mathematics and physics for biologists, and biology for exact sciences students (parallel tracks), courses on specialized Computational Biology topics ranging from the molecular level to integrated physiological systems, seminars on recent developments, mini-research projects where the students will have opportunity to apply the acquired skills to realistic research problems. Illustrative applications will emphasize aging and degenerative diseases.
