Overview
The Systems Biology degree at University of Glasgow draws on the strengths of molecular and cell biology to try to build an integrative picture of how organisms work. Implicit in the approach is big data (coming from imaging, microarray, RNAseq, proteomics or metabolomics, for which we are very well equipped), together with mathematical and computational biology to draw higher-level insights.
Features
- Systems Biology also works very well with genetic model organisms, such as yeast, Drosophila or Arabidopsis; or in human biomedicine.
Programme Structure
Specific areas of interest include:
- modelling organ specificity in the plant circadian clock
- post-genomic insights into tissue function and control in Drosophila
- optimising recombinant protein expression and secretion in mammalian cells
- systems biology approaches of stress-induced plasticity of the mitochondrial intermembrane space
- light control of local and long distance phytohormone signalling in Arabidopsis
- quantitative systems biology of membrane transport and cellular homeostasis
