Systems Biology and Networks
Mathematical and computational modeling of biological networks and pathways to understand complex cellular behavior and emergent system properties
Overview
Systems biology integrates experimental data with computational models to understand how biological components interact at the systems level. Network analysis reveals how genes, proteins, and metabolites are functionally connected.
Key Topics
- Gene regulatory network modeling
- Protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks
- Metabolic flux balance analysis (FBA)
- Signal transduction pathway modeling
- Network topology and hub gene analysis
- Multi-omics data integration
Applications
- Identifying drug targets in disease networks
- Metabolic engineering
- Understanding antibiotic resistance
- Systems-level biomarker discovery
