The Systems Biology – Foundations short course is an NIH-sponsored, didactic and practical educational experience devoted to training in systems biology. The Systems Biology – Foundations course also includes teaching of collaborative skills and mentoring activities for career development. Participants may attend the online and/or the in-person course.  The “Online Course” is held entirely online over the first two weeks (2/20-3/1) (off on Presidents’ Day), and the “In-person Course” is held in person, on the UC Irvine campus for the following two weeks (3/4-3/15).

The course has been designed to serve both individuals from quantitative and computational disciplines who wish to apply their training to biology, as well as individuals from biological and biomedical sciences, who wish to move their research in more quantitative and computational directions.

The “Online Course” will be offered as a half-day program (9:00am to noon, Pacific Time). The “In-Person Course” will be an all-day program over the course of the program dates and includes hands-on labs, networking, and mentoring/career development opportunities. The applicants have the option to select to participate in the “Online Course” only or the full course (both online + in-person courses).

Application is open to scientists and trainees at all levels. We strongly encourage applications from scientists and trainees with diverse backgrounds and life experiences, including those who identify as underrepresented in the biomedical field.
