Classes - Fall Semester

Organic Chemistry I (C344C)

Molecular Systems Biology (CHBC W4511)
Course Objectives: This four-credit course will present a quantitative description of the molecular networks that underlie the myriad phenotypes of living cells, from yeast to human. Topics covered include various high-throughput genomics technologies (genome sequencing, DNA microarrays, proteomics), quantitative modeling of transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulatory networks, synthetic biology, and the world of RNA structure, dynamics, and function. Lectures on these topics will be integrated with introductory lectures on molecular and structural biology, thermodynamics, statistics, and machine learning. The course is intended for advanced undergraduates as well as beginning graduate students in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Engineering, and Computer Science. Taught by research scientists active in various of systems biology, the course is highly interdisciplinary and rooted in recent research, with a soft focus on cancer. [syllabus]
