ADVANCED SYSTEMS BIOLOGY

Catalog description

An advanced biotechnology course designed for second year graduate biotechnology students that will provide an understanding of the complex interactions within biological systems. Students will gain an appreciation for the methodology employed to investigate system-wide interrogation of molecular and cellular processes. Emphasis will be on genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic approaches and description of the state of the art techniques used in these fields. Computational tools used to manage the volume of data generated using high-throughput techniques will also be subject of discussion.
