Lecturer: Alexander Bockmayr
Tutor: Annika Röhl

Language: English / German

Contents

The goal of this course is to give an introduction to the most important mathematical and algorithmic ideas underlying the constraint-based analysis of genome-scale metabolic networks, with applications to systems biology and biotechnology.

We will discuss the steady-state flux cone, flux balance analysis (FBA), flux variability analysis (FVA), flux coupling analysis (FCA), elementary flux modes (EFMs), thermodynamic constraints, and metabolic regulation. On the algorithmic side, the focus will be on linear and mixed-integer optimisation methods.
