Data Integration Strategies for Systems Biology: A Multi-Omics Approach

OBJECTIVE:

The course is designed for PhD students and young researchers with the goal of providing a solid theoretical and practical foundation in Systems Biology. Through an interdisciplinary approach, participants will develop skills in using bioinformatics tools for the analysis of complex biological data, essential for studying large-scale biological systems. A key aspect of the course will be the development of interpretation and modeling skills for biological systems, enabling participants to integrate different data sources to gain a deeper understanding of biological processes. Finally, the program aims to foster interaction between young researchers and experienced scientists in the field, creating an environment for discussion and collaboration that encourages new ideas and innovative research approaches.
