Network Biology and Biomedicine

4 credits

(Cross-listed with MED 283.) Networks are pervasive in molecular biology and medicine. This course introduces biomolecular networks and their major analysis techniques and roles in biomedical research, including pathway-based genetic analysis. Recommended familiarity with bioinformatics programming; course examples are taught in Python. Prerequisites: Genetics (BICD 100, BGGN 223, or BIOM 252) and graduate-level statistics (MED 268, MATH 283, MATH 281A, MATH 281C, FMPH 221, or FMPH 222).
