CSC2431H: Topics in Computational Biology and Medicine

This course will introduce students to the variety of ways that computational methods are utilized in modern medicine. The topics will include the use of probabilistic and deterministic techniques in the analysis of genomic data, machine learning, and NLP to analyze medical texts, HCI considerations for medical software, as well as other topics. While we will not cover any particular CS research area in depth, the students are expected to have a broad computational background to be able to read research literature in a variety of subject areas, as well as the ability to do independent exploration of topics in medicine.
