| Systems Biology 200 | Dynamic & Stochastic Processes in Cells Johan M. Paulsson (Medical School) and Jeremy M. Gunawardena (Medical School) Rigorous introduction to (i) dynamical systems theory as a tool to understand molecular and cellular biology (ii) stochastic processes in single cells, using tools from statistical physics and information theory. |
| Systems Biology 201 | Principles of Animal Dev. from a Systems Perspective Sean Megason (Medical School), Angela Depace (Medical School), and Marc W. Kirschner (Medical School) Intensive and critical analysis of systems approaches to circuits and principles controlling pattern formation and morphogenesis in animals. Students develop their own ideas and present them through mentored "chalk talks" and other interactive activities. |
| Systems Biology 204 | Biomolecular Engineering and Synthetic Biology Peng Yin (Medical School), George M. Church (Medical School), William Shih (Medical School), and Pamela A. Silver (Medical School) A course focusing on the rational design, construction, and applications of nucleic acid- and protein-based synthetic molecular and cellular machinery and systems. Students are mentored to produce substantial term projects. |
| Systems Biology 212 | Communication of Science Angela Depace (Medical School), Allon Moshe Klein (Medical School), and Galit Lahav (Medical School) Students will work collaboratively with faculty and one another on critical science communication skills including crafting graphics, writing fellowships, and giving oral presentations. |
| Systems Biology 300 hf | Introduction to Systems Biology Research Series of lectures to introduce the research areas of current program faculty in systems biology. |
| Systems Biology 300 qc | Advanced Topics in Systems Biology Series of intensive seminars, each running for 6 hours. Three seminars, which can be taken in different terms, are required for credit. |
| Systems Biology 301 qc | Studying Evolution through Models and Experiments Intensive January course covering theoretical foundations in population genetics, genetic drift versus selection, identifying selection in genomes, advances in laboratory evolution experiments, with applications to key questions in systems biology and evolution. |
| Systems Biology 302 qc | Quantitative Human Physiology Introduction to selected mathematical and computational models of human physiology, disease, and treatment monitoring. Topics may include glucose regulation, kidney filtration, blood cell homeostasis and anemia, cell growth and cancer, and pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. |
| Systems Biology 303 qc | Dynamic and Stochastic Processes in Cells 1 We will examine how the some of the key requirements of living systems are implemented at the molecular level and how quantitative experimental methods and mathematical analysis can help us understand them. |
| Systems Biology 304 qc | Dynamic & Stochastic Processes in Cells Part 2 |
| Systems Biology 305 qc | Practical Synthetic Biology Synthetic biology is a new discipline that seeks to enable the predictable engineering of biological systems. According to one conception of synthetic biology, proteins and genetic regulatory elements are modular and can be combined in a predictable manner. In practice however, assembled genetic devices do not function as expected. The purpose of the course is to go beyond the textbook, first-pass description of molecular mechanisms and focus on details that are specifically relevant to engineering biological systems. |
| Systems Biology 350 | Systems Biology Research Upper level Systems Biology students register for this course when they permanently join a lab. Students should register under the supervising PI. |
| Systems Biology 370 | Advanced Topics in Systems Biology: Reading Seminar A series of reading and discussion seminars, each running for a half term (7 weeks). Two seminars, which can be taken in different terms, are required for credit. |
| Systems Biology 399 | Introduction to Systems Biology: Rotations The course will introduce the research areas of faculty performing research in systems biology. Intended for Systems Biology lab rotations. |
