This hands-on research course will integrate investigation of diverse biological phenomena in the lab with quantitative analysis of hypotheses related to the function of living systems. Analysis across different length scales and levels of complexity invokes a synergistic combination of tool building, quantitative data acquisition, complementary theoretical model building. Students will work in subgroups on modules developed by different BMSE faculty to illustrate current research topic in Quantitative Biology.
