With the advent of improved techniques for acquiring large-scale bioinformatic data, systems biology has emerged as a new scientific field dedicated to analyzing these large datasets to gain ...

Since small molecules can interact with certain proteins, a well-designed protein could initiate a biochemical alert system in the presence of a specific molecule, such as a narcotic or metabolite ...

When studying biological systems, we are often interested in how the output of the system is related to an input; e.g. how insulin secretion is related to glucose levels or how neural activity is ...

At the heart of these biological processes are chemical reactions that are coordinated in space and time to produce a living system. To fully describe and understand these processes, it is ...

An essential property of all living systems is that they operate in states of flux, transporting and transforming mass, transducing free energy between chemical, electrical, and mechanical forms, and ...

Coursework covers topics that span a continuum ranging from understanding the structure, properties, and behavior of atoms, to molecules, materials, and complex chemical and biological systems. In ...
