Adaptation in Biosystems. 3 credits

Catalog description

Biological communication networks adapt and maintain robust function in the face of external stress, challenges or assaults. In order to survive, the cell, and the organism, must create meaning from a complex array of external and internal signals, and make decisions as to how it should respond. This class encompasses a novel integrative life science perspective, namely adaptation, or maladaptation, in the face of constant change. Offered by School of Systems Biology .
