FB18 Elektrotechnik und Informationstechnik

Course Contents
The module provides an introduction to modeling and analysis approaches relevant to synthetic biology. It builds on the mathematical basis provided in the module “mathematical foundations of modeling and analysis”. Apart from short introductory lectures, practical programming of respective algorithms will be the main modality to learn the subject. The course covers purely data-driven methods from biostatistics and machine learning but also first-principle modeling approaches from biophysics and biochemistry. Concrete scientific problem statements will used to learn about the modeling and analysis algorithms.

Preconditions
Passing of module “Basics in Synthetic Biology”

Course Contents
In small groups, students have the opportunity to participate in the everyday clinical practice of various medical disciplines and to experience the use of medical devices in daily use as well as to experience the possibilities and limitations of the device technologies. They participate in various everyday clinical situations in a hospital and learn the clinical communication channels, workflows and treatment strategies.

Preconditions
Recommended are „Medical Morphology, Terminology and Applied Anatomy“ and „Cell Biology and Physiology“ as well as being vaccinated against measles, mumps, varicella, tetanus and hepatitis B according to the recommendation of the Standing Committee on Vaccinations.
