CURRENT CURRICULUM
Various courses in our current curriculum have been identified for systematically introducing biological concepts into computing curricula. These include

Algorithms and Data Structures, Introduction to Numerical Analysis, Combinatorics and Graph Theory, Databases, Senior Project Design, Digital Image Processing, Bioengineering 201, Microprocessors and Embedded Systems

FALL 2008

In Fall 2008,a course called Electronics and Biological Systems: Introduction, Inspiration and Interface (CHEM/CSE 597D and CMPSC 497D) was offered.The focus was to provide an introduction to biomimetics, biologically inspired systems, and electronic systems interfaced with biological systems.

More information about the course can be found at Courses-> Fall 2008 or by clicking here.

SPRING 2009

Graphs and Networks in Systems Biology (CMPSC 497E/PHYS 597A) will be offered in Spring 2009 by Prof.Reka Albert.
The goal of the course will be to introduce elements of network theory used to describe and model complex networks.Focus will be on systems biology and biological networks.

More information regarding the course can be found at Courses->Spring 2009 or here.

Brain Computer Interfaces (BCI): Translate Thought into Action (E SC 497B ) will be offered in Spring 2009 by Prof. Bruce Gluckmann.
The objective of the course will be to describe the biophysical basis of non-invasive brain signals, to apply signal processing, discrimination, and classification tools to interpret these signals, and to implement these tools into a control system for a brain-computer interface.
