Course description
This course will explore contemporary approaches to understanding complex systems, such as cells or tissues, through studying molecular components and their interactions. We will cover ways to study cellular states using different -omics techniques, including how these large datasets can be analyzed and integrated to reveal details of the dynamics of whole cell processes. Molecular Systems Biology approaches are increasingly used in biotechnology and also form the basis for the generation of molecular models of cellular function.
