Introduction to Modern Systems Biology

Harvard FAS

In this introductory graduate-level course, students will develop tools and follow canonical examples of understanding biological systems. We will focus on using the language of mathematics to clarify the problems to be solved, and to approach their solution. We will use simple cases to start with, and then see how they play out in modern problems. We will cover emerging machine-learning methods to reverse-engineer dynamical systems, and connect stochastic biology to single cell analysis.In…
