Overview
Systems biology aims at an holistic understanding of the dynamics of a single cell (or whole living organism) combining approaches from system sciences, life sciences, and information sciences. In this course we focus on the role of systems theory in systems biology. Specifically, we review some of the advances in systems biology that have been achieved during the recent years based on system theoretic considerations. As shown system theoretical analysis concern stability, robustness, sensitivity and adaptation of cellular systems enabling a deeper insight into the functional bases of life.
The lecture is supplemented by classroom and some computer exercises.

Prerequisites
