I9: Applied Python Programming in Structural & Quantitative Biology and Image Processing - 69050

(2 hrs/week, 2 CP, Fall 2025)


Timm Maier, Adam Mazur, Michael Podvinec

The course focuses on the essentials of practical Python programming for biology applications. It is intended for PhD and MSc students with experience in Python programming, who would like to enhance their programming skills by solving real-world cases. Students are therefore encouraged to bring their own scientific programming problems for discussion.

Programming concepts and practical approaches applicable to structural and quantitative biology and biophysics will be introduced and relevant Python modules to tackle these questions will be discussed.

The course will consist of short presentations, practical exercises and seminars. Throughout the course, active student participation and solving homework assignments will be required.
