BIOS 28406 - Systems Biology,Self-Assembly,and Complexity

Institution:

University of Chicago

Subject:

Description:

PQ: Consent of instructor. Advanced standing and background in cell biology, genetics, protein chemistry, mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Among the most challenging concepts in biology involve understanding the fundamental mechanisms that underlie self-assembly and complexity in systems that vary from simple multi-protein molecular machines to cellular systems (e.g., signal transduction) to multi-cellular systems (e.g., immune system) or even whole organism (e.g., development). Systems biology aims at a holistic understanding of the dynamics of biological systems by combining approaches from system sciences, life sciences, and information sciences. Fundamental concepts and cutting-edge approaches are introduced at the interface of the biological and physical sciences. P. Nash. Spring.
