Analysis of Biomolecular and Cellular Systems

Description:

Green algae grows in this bioreactor. Bioreactors are steady-state mixed tanks that keep organisms in permanent exponential growth while continuously diluting with nutrient-rich broth and removing both cells and reaction products. In the Protein Networks Project of this course, students model the system and design a way to keep the cells growing. Photograph courtesy of Umberto Salvagnin on flickr. CC-BY.
