An introduction to the application of engineering models to study cellular and molecular processes and develop biotechnological applications. Topics covered include chemical equilibrium and kinetics, solution of differential equations, enzyme kinetics, DNA denaturation and rebinding, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), repressor binding, gene expression, receptor-mediated endocytosis, and gene delivery to tissues and cells. Selected laboratory experiments apply concepts learned in class. Instructor: Gimm, Tian, Truskey, You, or Yuan
