ChE 697a
Description: Molecular and systems biotechnology has emerged as an important part of the current biotechnology industry. In this class, we will cover the basic concepts and techniques essential to understanding more sophisticated methods and to developing novel approaches in molecular biotechnology. In addition, methods to model and analyze biological complexity will be introduced.
Requirements: This class is open to graduate students only. Senior undergraduate students who would like to take this class must consult with the instructors in advance. Each student must complete a term project with a molecular biology or systems biology focus.
Last offered: Spring 2005
