What is Metabolic Modeling?

Sequencing and automation have empowered researchers to generate incredible amounts of data on the microbial communities around and within us. Powerful bioinformatics tools and increasingly expanding and interconnected databases allow users to predict microbial metabolic functions. The BIT 495/595 Metabolic Modeling course will help you to be curious, interact with experts from various disciplines, and use advanced online resources to explore microbial reconstruction. Explore, learn, and share as we use realistic scenarios, cloud-based tools, and resources shared by experts to think about the potential and implications of microbes.

The BIT Metabolic Modeling course was designed by Dr. Jason Whitham and Dr. Carlos Goller at NC State.
