SBCNY Graduate Education in Systems Biology
Roy Song, currently enrolled in the PhD program at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, is the first author of a study published in the journal PNAS, titled "ERK Regulation of Phosphodiesterase 4 Enhances Dopamine-stimulated AMPA Receptor Membrane Insertion". [PubMed]
Jayanth Krishnan, currently enrolled in the Accelerated Physician-Scientist Program (BS/MD) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Albany Medical College, is a recipient of a 2011 Davidson Scholarship. Jay, who conducted research under the mentorship of SBCNY Investigator Avi Ma'ayan, was the winner in the Engineering category at the Westchester Science and Engineering Fair (WESEF). His project was selected as one of the top eight overall projects which earned him a trip to the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF).

Systems Biology Specialization on Coursera
Systems Biology Specialization on Coursera
The Systems Biology Specialization will enable students to get a working knowledge of various facets including bioinformatics, dynamical modeling, genomics, network and statistical modeling, proteomics and metabolomics. The Specialization concludes with a Capstone project that allows you to apply the skills you've learned throughout the courses.
- Systems Biology and Biotechnology Specialization on Coursera includes five courses and a capstone course:
- Introduction to Systems Biology
Taught by: Ravi lyengar, PhD, Dorothy H. and Lewis Rosenstiel Professor, Department of Pharmacological Sciences, Systems Biology Center New York (SBCNY), Mount Sinai Institute for Systems Biomedicine - Experimental Methods in Systems Biology
Taught by: Marc Birtwistle, Assistant Professor, Department of Pharmacological Sciences, Systems Biology Center New York (SBCNY - Network Analysis in Systems Biology
Taught by: Avi Ma’ayan, PhD, Director, Mount Sinai Center for Bioinformatics Professor, Department of Pharmacological Sciences - Dynamical Modeling Methods for Systems Biology
Taught by: Eric Sobie, Associate Professor, Department of Pharmacological Sciences, Systems Biology Center New York (SBCNY) - Integrated Analysis in Systems Biology
Taught by: Susana Neves, Assistant Professor, Department of Pharmacological Sciences, Systems Biology Center New York (SBCNY) - Systems Biology and Biotechnology Capstone
Taught by: Ravi Iyengar, Dorothy H. and Lewis Rosenstiel Professor, Department of Pharmacological Sciences, Systems Biology Center New York (SBCNY), Mount Sinai Institute for Systems Biomedicine
All courses are available every four weeks with an enrollment period of 5 days. Capstone course is available two times per year and students who have successfully completed all other courses can register for it. There is no required order to take these courses but “Introduction to Systems Biology” must be the first course and “Integrated Analysis in Systems Biology” must be the last course before taking the Capstone course. Courses materials are available for all students who sign up for them but certificates will be given to those who register if they complete each course successfully. Students from more than 161 countries have participated in these courses in 2016. The on-demand version of these courses have had more than 20000 active learners and more than 110000 visitors by February 2017.
