22140/22141 - Introduction to Systems Biology

Previously known as 36040 and 27040: Introduction to Systems Biology (bachelor course)

Network example: Protein-Protein interaction network for biomarkers involved in depression - Larsen & Wernersson, 2012.

About the course

The "Introduction to Systems Biology" course is a Bachelor level course aiming at:

• Teaching a conceptual introduction to the core of Systems Biology.
• Having a very large focus on Network Biology, including hands-on experience on how to work with, and critically interpret biological networks.
• All teaching will be very closely related to actual biology.
• We will work with examples of how the Systems Biology approach can be applied to biomedical research, and help find new biomarkers and potential drug targets.
• The students will learn how to use the biological networks as a scaffold for more refined analyses using data integration (e.g. filtering the network using tissue-specific expression, or mapping in protein meta data).

Course organizers: Lars Rønn Olsen (lronn@dtu.dk), Rasmus Wernersson (rawe@dtu.dk), and Kristoffer Vitting-Seerup (krivi@dtu.dk)
