CSCI 8386 Systems Biology

Systems biology is a field that aims to understand the interactions and behaviors of biological systems at various levels. It combines concepts and tools from various disciplines to study the behavior and function of biological systems in a holistic manner. In a systems biology course, students will learn how to model, analyze, integrate, and interpret omics data. They will use computational and statistical approaches to identify patterns in large datasets and apply these techniques to understand biological systems and solve real-world problems such as biomarker and drug target identification. Students will learn to use tools and software packages to analyze and interpret data and will work on hands-on projects and case studies to apply their skills. They will also engage in discussions and collaboration with peers and their instructor, and develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills.
