תלמידת המחלקה להנדסה ביו רפואית לתואר שני תרצה בנושא:

Computational Modeling of Gene Expression in Microalgae

C. reinhardtii is a green microalgae used as a model organism for research on fundamental questions in molecular biology; in addition, it is commonly used as a model in the biotechnology industry for applications such as production of biopharmaceuticals, production of sustainable chemical compounds, and as a clean source of hydrogen production.

Gene expression is the process by which information encoded in the DNA is used for producing  proteins and regulating  their levels. Thus, in order to research and manipulate C. reinhardtii we must understand and model its gene expression.

In the lecture I will report the first systems biology study aiming to understand fundamental gene expression rules in C. reinhardtii. My study includes analyses of the entire C. reinhardtii transcriptome via supervised and unsupervised approaches .
