Course Details
• Introduction to Systems Biology: Foundational concepts and principles of systems biology, including network analysis, omics technologies, and modeling approaches.
• Space Biology Fundamentals: Overview of how microgravity, radiation, and other space factors affect biological systems, and the implications for human space exploration.
• Systems Biology in Microbial Communities: Examination of microbial communities in space environments, their roles in maintaining spacecraft habitability, and potential applications in bioregenerative life support systems.
• Multi-omics Analysis in Space Biology: Integration of multi-omics data (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics) to study the effects of space on biological systems.
• Computational Modeling in Systems Biology: Development and simulation of mathematical models to predict the behavior of complex biological systems in space.
• Space Radiation Effects on Biological Systems: Investigation of the biological consequences of space radiation on cells, tissues, and organisms, and strategies for mitigating radiation-induced damage.
• Systems Biology of Plant Responses to Space: Analysis of plant responses to space conditions and the potential for using plants in bioregenerative life support systems.
• Synthetic Biology for Space Applications: Application of synthetic biology for designing and engineering biological systems that can function in space environments.
• Ethical, Legal, and Societal Implications of Systems Biology in Space: Discussion of the ethical, legal, and societal implications of space biology research, including data sharing, privacy, and public perception.
