Seminar on Statistical Biology - Topical Focus: Stochastic dynamics of cells and populations
Berenike Maier, Johannes Berg, Joachim Krug, Michael Lässig
Randomness plays an important role in biology at many
different levels of description.
Topic of this seminar is
stochastic effects in populations (in particular bacterial populations) and cells.
