Bifurcation Analysis and Qualitative Optimization of Models in Molecular Cell Biology with Applications to the Circadian Clock

Circadian rhythms are the endogenous, roughly 24-hour rhythms that coordinate an organism's interaction with its cycling environment. The molecular mechanism underlying this physiological process is a cell-autonomous oscillator comprised of a complex regulatory network of interacting DNA, RNA a...
