This week I have delivered a course on Network Medicine, jointly with my PhD student Lucas Goiriz, within the Máster en Bioinformática, Biología Computacional y Medicina Personalizada of the Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Informática (Universitat Politècnica de València). Network Medicine consists on the application of network science towards identifying, preventing, and treating diseases. We focus on the use of network topology and network dynamics towards identifying diseases and developing medical drugs. Networks considered in this field include Biological networks, such as protein-protein interactions and metabolic pathways, and Disease networks. It is always a pleasure to share our interest in the discipline with new students.
