The Systems Biology Center New York Published Teaching Resources for their Systems Biology Course in Science Signaling’s September 13 2011 Online Issue

Published September 15, 2011

The September 13 2011 online issue of  Science Signaling is the first of three issues containing Teaching Resources related to a course in systems biology. Members of the Systems Biology Center New York developed a course at Mount Sinai School of Medicine that introduces first-year graduate students to computational principles and approaches. There will be a total of 12 Teaching Resources published in sequential issues of Science Signaling starting with the September 13 issue. Each of the Teaching Resources will provide lecture notes, slides, problem sets, and answer keys.

The lectures notes, slides and problem sets are accessible from the following page on the SBCNY website: http://sbcny.org/biomedical_modeling.htm
