This is the first of a two-semester subject sequence that provides the foundations for contemporary research in selected areas of atomic and optical physics. Topics covered include the interaction of…
A neutrophil (a type of white blood cell, shown in blue-gray) interacting with Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria (shown in pink). This is one example of the types of functions that Systems Biology seeks to understand and describe. Watch Lecture 1 to see a video of a neutrophil chasing and engulfing a bacterium.
