National Centers of Systems Biology

Outreach & Education

Systems Biology represents a fundamental shift in both the conceptual and technical approaches that scientists use to discover the underlying principles of biological systems. The emergence of a new science demands an adequate workforce of appropriately trained scientists. Innovation in training and education, therefore, is a significant task of the Systems Biology Centers.

The Centers provide a combination of research and education opportunities and educational materials for instructors from the K-8, high school, undergraduate, and graduate levels. The Centers create courses and coordinate curricula spanning multiple departments that expose students to the essential elements of systems biology. Additionally, the Centers sponsor fellowship programs offering research experiences in systems biology for undergraduate and graduate students.
