Mathematical Modelling of Biochemical Pathways

The wide array of cellular functions performed by biochemical reactions within the cell. These reactions form a complex network of interconnected pathways, consisting of both genetic and metabolic reactions. These are controlled by variety of regulatory mechanisms. These pathways are too complex to be understood by intuition and informal models alone. Mathematical models have provided useful insights into the dynamics of these pathways. This talk will cover some simple mathematical modelling approaches and how these methods can be used to understand and predict the properties of some simple biochemical pathways and behaviour of the cells.
