Course Descriptions

This course provides physical understanding of various biological functions, based on statistical mechanics and stochastic process. The main goal is to demonstrate how quantitative theoretical models explain current issues of cellular biology. In particular, non-equilibrium dynamics and fluctuations of biological processes will be emphasized.
