Goal(s)

The course provides an introduction to systems biology by focusing on the behaviors emerging from interactions between genes, proteins and RNAs, taking examples from microbes to mammals. The main goal of this course is to show students that abstract computational and mathematical methods can be effectively employed for in silico modeling and analysis of living organisms. Moreover, to enhance practical skills, students will apply some of the techniques and software tools to analyze genome-scale models and models of cell metabolism and gene expression.
