Goals of this course:
 
Recently there is a growing interest in the effect of noise in cell biology. The ubiquity of noise motivate the fundamental questions such as (1) how does noise at the cellular level translates into the robust behavior at the macroscopic level, and (2) can noise be exploited to enhance the performance of cellular function? These questions suggest that mathematical biologists and applied mathematicians need to have some background in stochastic process and its application in biological systems. In this summer course, we will introduce the theories in stochastic process and give its applications in some realistic biological systems. We will start from the tutorial level and then gives an overview of current state-of-the-art approaches for the application of stochastic process in cell biology. 
 
The goals of this course are to help the students with the following capabilities,
(1) basic mathematical and computational tools for describing stochastic dynamics, mainly for describing processes in a cell.
(2) building models for biological processes in a cell.
