Course aim
The technological advances of the last decade have allowed for the easy generation of massive amounts of data on the components, interactions and organization of biological systems, heralding a new era for Systems Biology. This course aims to give graduate and post-graduate students with a background in biological sciences, a hands-on perspective on how to obtain, integrate and analyze complex data sets from multiple experimental sources using inter disciplinary tools and discuss the challenges that still have to be met in the future.
Topics include basic and intermediate concepts on databases and data-mining, network analysis, systems modelling and prediction, with an emphasis on gene expression, protein interaction and signalling.Target audience
MSc graduates, PhD students and junior post-doctoral fellows in biochemical/biological/biomedical sciences wishing to expand their knowledge on bioinformatics, modelling and network analysis for systems biology.
