 course will introduce computational modeling of large (genome-scale) metabolic reaction networks through a scalable framework known as constraint-based modeling. Emphasis will be on the usage in both biotechnology and systems biomedicine. Main topics will
 be fundamental constraint-based modeling methods, omics data integration, multi-scale modeling and microbial community modeling. The course will combine theoretical lectures with tutorial exercises and computational exercises in Python.</span></p>
