Systems Biology is an interdisciplinary field that focuses on the complex molecular interactions within biological systems. Combining high-throughput data acquisition with computational modeling, Systems Biology joins experimental and theoretical efforts to understand biological functions. The Summer School offers an introduction to the interdisciplinary aspects of Systems Biology by emphasizing its foundations in biochemistry, biomathematics, and bioinformatics. Six half-day courses give an overview over state-of-the-art experimental and modeling techniques as well as future challenges.
