| Content | This introductory course to Systems Biology of Infection will focus on data and knowled ge-based modeling and model -driven analysis of microbial infection processes. We will discuss recent advances in understanding the interaction of the host with bacterial and viral pathogens by integrative analysis of genome-wide and spatio-temporal data sets using computational approaches that can employ this data to generate models of host -pathogen interaction. We will further discuss how such systems-level approaches may facilitate the identification of diagnostic biomarkers and potential drug targets for novel anti-infectives and possibly allow exploring novel strategies for personalized therapy. |

| Admission requirements | To receive credit points, students must demonstrate active participation. Students will work in teams of two, and each team will be responsible for the following tasks related to one specific guest speaker (see speaker list in ADAM): • On the day of the seminar, the student team will introduce the guest speaker and lead the Q&A session. • Based on a recent publication by the assigned guest speaker, each student in the team must prepare one relevant question for the Q&A session. • Both questions, along with the speaker introduction, must be sent to the hosting PI no later than the Friday before the seminar. |
