COURSE DESCRIPTION
The course will present an overview with practical applications of the use of systems Biology in
basic and applied research. Specifically the participants will gain both theoretical and hands-on
experience with the methods used to model networks in complex biological systems including
transcriptional, proteomic, metabolic and signaling networks. Practical workshops will enable
students to use computational tools to model and visualize biological networks using experimental
data. The course will also illustrate the importance of system biology to the new era of
personalized medicine, through the use of reverse engineering networks to discover novel
therapeutic drug targets.
