Faglig innhold
One of the most important instruments to build a community for systems biology is a journal club. We will offer a year-long journal club for PhD students (but other interested parties may participate) where students elect recent papers related to systems biology an present a detailed analysis and review of the work. Focus should be on evident success of the systems biology approach, shortcomings and possible improvements. The course will span two semesters, and will be divided into four thematic areas, or sections: -omics, data integration, dynamical modeling and systems biology based experiment design. This means that the majority of the papers discussed in such a section will be related to this area. Each section will be introduced by a specific lecture. Students will be able to pick from a list prepared by the lecturer or choose their own from recent literature.
Læringsutbytte
The objective of the course is to train young researchers in applying systems approaches to address biological questions. The course will help creating a culture of systems biology at NTNU. The course will give the PhD students profound knowledge about omics, data integration, dynamical modeling and systems biology based experiment design.
Læringsformer og aktiviteter
Presentations and discussions will be in English. Students will be judged on their presentation and written paper report.
Obligatoriske aktiviteter Reading papers - presentation
Attendance will be mandatory, with a minimum required attendance per period. Each student will be expected to present at least 4 times. Presentations will be made available internally; short summaries of the presented work will have to be provided together with the presentation. These will serve to score the performance of students. After each section students will be asked to write short report on the major findings presented in that area.
