DESCRIPTION
SYSTEMS BIOLOGY:
- How do normal cellular functions such as cellular division, cell activation, differentiation, and apoptosis emerge from the interaction of genes - How to examine whole cell functions corresponding to observable phenotypes. - How to generate network reconstructions, followed by the synthesis of in silico models describing functionalities. - Systems Analysis of Complex Diseases. - Systems Pharmacology: Understanding Drug Action from a System Perspective. - Systems Pharmacogenomics: Personalized medicine.
SYNTHETIC BIOLOGY:
- Design and construction of new biological parts, devices, and systems, and the re-design of existing natural biological system for better application. - Build artificial biological systems for engineering applications. - Draw powerful techniques for the rapid assembly of DNA. - Engineer biological system: modify the behaviour of organisms and engineer them to perform new tasks. Create bioengineered microorganisms that can produce pharmaceuticals and repair damaged genes.
