Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: The objective of this course for each student is summarized as using web-based bioinformatic tools in effective manner, performing mathematical modelling-based analysis, and interpreting the obtained results according to developed mathematical models. In the second part of this course, it is aimed to teach basics of decision making algorithms and artificial intelligence approaches to students.

Course Content: The content of this course is the effective use of bioinformatics and artifical intelligence tools to understand more about cancer research and molecular applications in the field of oncology. Another important content of the course is to convey basic information about the effective use of existing mathematical models during the experimental design phase and the interpretation of the results. To achieve this goal, the basis of many bioinformatics tools together with artificial intelligence tools is considered as main content of this course.
