Course Description:  A hallmark of living systems is their ability to give rise to predictable behaviors from heterogeneous components. This is seen at molecular, cellular, tissue and even organismal levels. Classically, this heterogeneity was thought to be noise, but increasingly heterogeneity is seen to be an intrinsic and computable phenotype of biological systems. In this minicourse, students will lead discussions from the literature and work on computational projects that investigate heterogeneity across scales and in normal and diseased tissues. Required for Systems Biology emphasis.
