Quantitative principles in biological systems

The course aims to provide a common "ruler" for researchers from diverse backgrounds to reason about biological systems. Topics are organized around broadly applicable themes like how biological systems deal with noise or optimize functions. Model systems span across scales from chemotaxis to proteins and microbiomes. Emphasis is on active learning through building models and analyzing data together.
