BIO-373: Genetics and genomicsThe theoretical part of this course covers classical genetics and contemporary genomics. Because bioinformatics has become important for genomic research, the course also includes practical applications to genomic analyses using Python, including group projects.
BIO-341: Dynamical systems in biologyCe cours introduit les systèmes dynamiques pour modéliser des réseaux biologiques simples. L'analyse qualitative de modèles dynamiques non-linéaires est développée de pair avec des simulations numériques. L'accent est mis sur les exemples biologiques.
BIOENG-450: In silico neuroscience"In silico Neuroscience" introduces students to a synthesis of modern neuroscience and state-of-the-art data management, modelling and computing technologies.
BIOENG-455: Computational cell biologyComputer modelling is increasingly used to study dynamic phenomena in cell biology. This course shows how to identify common mathematical features in cell biological mechanisms, and become proficient in selecting numerical algorithms to model them and predict their behaviour.
BIO-212: Biological chemistry IBiochemistry is a key discipline for the Life Sciences. Biological Chemistry I and II are two tightly interconnected courses that aim to describe and understand in molecular terms the processes that make life possible.
ENV-220: Fundamentals in ecologyThe students will learn the fundamentals in ecology with the goal to perceive the environment beyond its physical and chemical characteristics. Starting from basic concepts, they will acquire mechanistic understanding of biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and global change.
BIO-480: Neuroscience: from molecular mechanisms to diseaseThe goal of the course is to guide students through the essential aspects of molecular neuroscience and neurodegenerative diseases. The student will gain the ability to dissect the molecular basis of disease in the nervous system in order to begin to understand and identify therapeutic strategies.
BIOENG-420: Single cell biologyThe students are exposed to experimental and analytical approaches specific to single cell biology, with an emphasis on quantitative aspects.
BIO-455: Introduction to law and ethicsLe but du cours est de familiariser l'étudiant-e aux notions de base du droit et de l'éthique applicables à la recherche en STV et à son transfert en applications, et de lui fournir les éléments essentiels pour identifier les enjeux juridiques et éthiques dans sa future pratique professionnelle.
