Syllabus

The overall learning goal of this course is to provide a broad understanding of different network-based problems and computational algorithms to tackle these problems. The majority of these problems discussed in this class stem from Molecular Biology, however analogous problems arise in other complex systems. The content of the course is organized into the following main sections. Please see detailed syllabus of topics and readings here:

  1. Representation and learning of molecular networks
  2. Context-specificity and dynamics of networks
  3. Topological properties of networks
  4. Comparison of networks
  5. Network-based data integration and interpretation.
  6. Deep learning in network biology
