As the course unfolds, we should be reading articles and reports concerning how
health is shaped and determined by societal factors (e.g. the norms and values a
society shares and the social group membership to which we belong). We will learn
how the stratification of societies would influence the distribution of morbidity
and mortality, how illness is socially constructed, and the training and socialization
of health professionals. We will discuss what the determinants of health are and
why health disparities persist from time to time and from society to society. Plus,
as population is aging globally, we will talk about the impacts and implications of
population aging on our societies and issues relating to the end of life care and the
discussions in soaring health expenditure and futile care.

Course Title
Course description
Seminar (I)(II) (III)

( )( ) ( )
This course will help graduate students to develop their independent research
ability.. Students will have to present papers related to the major topics in either
bioinformatics or biomedical research.
Data Mining
Data mining, or called knowledge discovery, is the processes of analyzing data from
different perspectives, deriving useful information, and finally acquiring knowledge.
The applications of data mining are now prevalent in varied domains, such as stock
prediction, customer behavior analysis, and social network. In this course, we will learn
what data mining can do and how to do it. Some important concepts and techniques,
including association rules, clustering, classification, and artificial intelligence, will be
discussed.
Machine Learning
This course is designed to give students an introduction to the methodologies,

technologies, mathematics, and algorithms currently used by people who use data in their
research. At the end of this course, students will possess the essential abilities to read
academic papers and use the information therein to aid in their research. Basic knowledge
in calculus, linear algebra, statistics, and probability is helpful in this course.
Image Processing
Digital image processing involves the acquisition, enhancement, display, and

understanding of digital images. This course is designed to give students a general
understanding of the fundamentals of digital image processing and to provide them
with hands-on experience in designing and programming image processing algorithms.
Pattern Recognition
Pattern recognition aims to classify data (patterns) based either on a priori knowledge
or on statistical information extracted from the patterns. This course is designed to
teach students the basic techniques of pattern recognition and to show the students
how to use such techniques for classifying real dataset, the assignment of a physical
object or event to one of several prescribed categories.
This course covers general knowledge representation techniques and problem solving
strategies. Topics will include search, intelligent agents, game playing, rule-based
systems, logic programming, semantic networks, planning, and uncertain reasoning.
The aim of this course is to introduce the current range of AI-informed techniques for
solving problems in computer science and biomedical research.
Molecular Biology
The aim of this course is to provide students with a basic understanding of modern
molecular biology. Topics in replication, dynamics of chromosome structure, regulation
of gene expression will be discussed. Students will be able to use the knowledge they
have acquired to develop projects in bioinformatics at the end of the course.
Bioinformatics
This course covers the following topics: sequence alignment, dynamics programming,
NCBI database, gene annotation, gene prediction, molecular phylogenetics, protein
structure, and RNA structure.
Biomedical Signals and

Detection
This course covers the following concepts: medical data acquisition, conversion, analysis
and processing, elementary digital signal processing theory, and various applications in
biomedical area.
ASIA 28
UNIVERSITY
Course Title
Course description
This course highlights how a biological problem can be transformed into a

computational problem in a number of ways that feature different levels of accuracy
and complexity. Highly accurate models often result in intractable computational
problems while less accurate models may produce meaningless results. The main
goal is to maintain an acceptable level of accuracy keeping the computational
problem effectively solvable.
Transcriptome Analysis
The course offers an in-depth understanding of microarray and NGS technology,

perform statistical analysis (t-test, chi-square test, F-test, test of
hypothesis) of data,and helping students get familiar with the internet
resources.
Genomics
This course studies the genomes of organisms. The field includes intensive efforts
to determine the entire DNA sequence of organisms and fine-scale genetic
mapping efforts. The field also includes studies of intragenomic phenomena such as
heterosis, epistasis, pleiotropy and other interactions between loci and alleles within
the genome. Research of single genes does not fall into the definition of genomics
unless the aim of this genetic, pathway, and functional information analysis is to
elucidate its effect on, place in, and response to the entire genome's networks.
Proteomics
This course is designed to give students a general understanding of the proteomics.

Proteomics is the large-scale study of proteins, particularly their structures
and functions. Proteins are vital parts of living organisms, as they are the main
components of the physiological metabolic pathways of cells. The proteome is the
entire complement of proteins, including the modifications made to a particular set
of proteins, produced by an organism or system. This will vary with time and distinct
requirements, or stresses, that a cell or organism undergoes.
Structural Biology
This course is designed to give students a general understanding of the structural

biology. Structural biology is a branch of molecular biology, biochemistry, and
biophysics concerned with the molecular structure of biological macromolecules,
especially proteins and nucleic acids, how they acquire the structures they have,
and how alterations in their structures affect their function. This subject is of great
interest to biologists because macromolecules carry out most of the functions of
cells, and because it is only by coiling into specific three-dimensional shapes that
they are able to perform these functions. This architecture, the "tertiary structure"
of molecules, depends in a complicated way on the molecules' basic composition, or
"primary structures."
Systems Biology
This course is designed to give students a general understanding of the systems

biology. Systems biology is a term used to describe a number of trends in bioscience
research, and a movement which draws on those trends. Proponents describe
systems biology as a biology-based inter-disciplinary study field that focuses on
complex interactions in biological systems, claiming that it uses a new perspective
(holism instead of reduction). Particularly from year 2000 onwards, the term is used
widely in the biosciences, and in a variety of contexts. An often stated ambition of
systems biology is the modeling and discovery of emergent properties, properties of
a system whose theoretical description is only possible using techniques which fall
under the remit of systems biology
This course is designed to introduce a variety of statistical models for time series and
cover the main methods for analysing these models. The following topics will be cover;
probability models for time series, stationarity, moving average (MA), autoregressive
(AR), and ARIMA models.

Investment Portfolio
Analysis
Portfolio analysis is the process of looking at every investment held within a

portfolio and evaluating how it affects the overall performance. Portfolio analysis
seeks to determine the variance of each security, the overall beta of the portfolio,
the amount of diversification and the asset allocation within the portfolio. Modern
portfolio theory widely used in practice in the financial industry and several of its
creators won a Nobel memorial prize for the theory. It is possible to hedge against
systemic risk, but it cannot be fully mitigated without giving up a significant
portion of the potential returns. Asset allocation is the second part of reducing
risk. By allocating funds among different asset classes, the investor is going to
experience less volatility caused by the varying performance of the investments in
each class.
