Systems Biology

The aim of the UE is to provide the basics needed to adopt this approach, and a coarse view of the field.

This UE is intended to be accessible to any biology student, with a strong desire to explore more formal approaches (mainly mathematics and computer science)

This is by essence an interdisciplinary approach. Courses will be given by computer scientists, mathematicians, physicists, bio-informaticians and biologists.

Both methodological aspects as well as examples of application of Systems Biology approaches to biological questions will be given.

The UE will be evaluated through a final report (5-10 pages) assessing how well the students have grasped the general systems biology philosophy.
