Systems Medicine
Lectures by Prof Shankar Subramaniam, UCSD & International Advisor, MFCEM, IIT Kanpur
Multi-omics and multi-model measurements have revolutionized our understanding of human physiology. The looming challenge, however, is converting the burgeoning data into insightful predictions and mechanistic models. The multiscale models would facilitate the "engineering" concepts of human cells, tissues and organs. This series of lectures aims to 1. Present the basic concepts of biology/physiology, 2. Delve into phenotypes, 3. Explore the underlying molecular and cellular underpinnings of working of cells, tissues and organs, and 4. Illustrate the use of omics data and its analysis.

Introduction to Neurobiology
Lectures by Prof. Nitin Gupta, Lab of Neural Systems, Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur
The lectures cover a wide range of topics in Neurobiology, starting with a historical and evolutionary perspective to Neurobiology; to introduction to the diverse neuronal cell types, sensory systems and the simple circuits that constitute neural networks. Through these lectures one is introduced to the chemical and electrical natures of synapses, and to different concepts such as capacitance, membrane potential and active conductance of neurons. The lectures also delve into different neuronal systems, such as of olfaction and of holistic visual perception.

Functional Genomics
Lectures by Prof S. Ganesh, Human Molecular Genetics Laboratory, Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur
High throughput DNA sequencing technologies have led to availability of the complete genome sequences of many organisms. Identification of functional components of the genome—be the genes, their regulatory regions or the non-coding part of the genome however remains a great challenge. The emerging field of "Functional Genomics" aims to develop and promote high throughput and large scale approaches to functionally annotate the genomes and uncover the genetic networks that regulate their functions. These lectures provide a comprehensive overview of the concept of Functional Genomics and contemporary approaches used to understand the genome function.
