AUA-IIT Bombay Overseas Study Program 2023 – Systems Biology: A quantitative way to tackle disease regulations for a futuristic public healthcare system


Applications are now closed.


A brief description of the program
The program is conduced in-person. Systems biology is an exciting interdisciplinary and quantitative approach that provides systematic ways to understand various biological regulations and paves the way to formulate such personalized treatment strategies for different disease regulations to create a futuristic public healthcare system in the future. In this course, we will cover various aspects of Systems biology by highlighting how it can help in understanding certain complex biological regulations (for example, novel therapeutics developments in combating Cancer and maintenance of stemness of stem cells and controlling their developmental dynamics) quantitatively by suggesting therapeutic measures.

Host: Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IITB)
Mode: In-person
Date: July 3-7, 2023
Eligible Participants: Undergraduate and postgraduate students of AUA members with basic knowledge and interest in Biology, Mathematics, and a bit of computer programming skill (knowing it will be good but not essential) is encouraged to apply. The program will teach all the basic skill sets that are required to enjoy the course.
The participants of this course will be:

  • Able to develop quantitative mathematical/computational models of their interest related to any biochemical phenomenon.
  • Develop an understanding of how to start thinking quantitatively to model a specific biological phenomenon (involved in disease regulation) involving experimental data either at the single-cell level or at the population level.
  • Able to learn how to develop a project related to a biological phenomenon related to disease regulation using systems biology.

Fees for AUA Members: Registration fee is waived. The organizer also covers on-campus accommodation, airport transfers and main meals.
Contact person: Ms. Tanvi Mehta (tanvi.mehta@iitb.ac.in)
