A Bridge: Undergraduate to Graduate Studies in Systems Biology
There are three primary learning objectives for this course:
- Students will learn about quantitative systems approaches to biological questions and understand how research can use a cycle of high throughput methodologies and quantitative analysis to generate hypotheses for experimental testing.
- Students will learn about recent advances in genomics, proteomics, and computation, and will understand the implications of these advances (as well as emerging technologies) for biological research.
- The seminar format, with student-led discussions, is intended to encourage students to be conversant in fields that may be ‘outside of their comfort zone’, and promote collaborative cross- and multi-disciplinary approaches to biological research.
This course provides a detailed overview of systems biology approaches and tools, and will enable students to integrate concepts from multiple disciplines and understand how advances in biochemistry, cell and molecular biology, genomics, proteomics, computation, bioengineering, and information management support novel insights into biological complexity. As such, it is envisioned that this course will serve as a bridge between advanced undergraduate studies and graduate coursework, and will enable students to explore a variety of disciplines and better prepare students for lab rotations and independent research.
