 validating models one always meet with the need to fit models to data. So, the parameters that are present in any realistic model have to be chosen based on comparison of model predictions with data. In this matching process <b>optimization techniques</b> are
 indispensable. That’s why a considerable part of this course is spent on getting you acquainted with the optimization techniques that are nowadays available and widely used. Numerical optimization also is the basis for so-called flux balance analysis (FBA),
 commonly used to study large metabolic networks. This type of models and their analysis and simulation is also introduced in the course.</span><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%;" lang="EN-GB"><br>
