• BIOL 4690: Systems Biology

  4.00 Credits

  King University

  
  This course introduces the field of Systems Biology. Following the paradigm shift in the production of large scale biological data (also called �omics) Systems Biology has arisen as a new area of research that strives to make connections between metabolic signaling and regulatory networks involved in cellular processes. Using a holistic rather than reductionist approach to understanding and controlling biological complexity this course will introduce large-scale data sets used in genomics proteomics metabolomics and epigenetics. Current hot-topics and ethical considerations in science are also discussed. Techniques such as network analysis and modeling approaches will then be introduced providing a framework for a systematic view of the etiology of complex traits. This course is intended as a capstone course for Biology majors who are interested in pursuing careers in graduate school medical school or the biotech industry. Three hours of lecture each week.
