About the programme
Function of a cell requires a multitude of molecular interactions and signaling cascades, which form complex regulatory networks orchestrating metabolic reactions. What are the identities of these molecular components? How do they function? How are they regulated and what are their positions in the molecular networks? Marked progress in omics technologies and constantly deepening mechanistic understanding of cell functions have provided us an opportunity to get a holistic systems biology view on biological processes.
Molecular Systems Biology track offers extensive training in modern molecular biology and education focused on systems biology: genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and gene/protein structure-function relationships. It has a special focus on practical laboratory skills and molecular interaction networks.
