My Research Project: 

• Epi-Cancer (To find epigenetic marker to distinguish healthy from cancer) 

Study Topics:

• First Week : life, information, and the universe?  (as information processing objects) Fractality of evolution, encapsulation, and information propagation

​​​​

• Second Week : What is science, biology, and omics? 
  • What is science?
    • Science is a systematic and organized approach to acquiring knowledge about the natural world. It involves observing, experimenting, and analyzing phenomena to better understand the physical and natural processes that govern our universe.
    • Science seeks to uncover the underlying principles and laws that govern the behavior of matter, energy, living organisms, and the cosmos as a whole.
  • What is biology?
    • Biology is the scientific study of living organisms and their interactions with each other and their environments. It is one of the major natural sciences and plays a fundamental role in understanding life on Earth.
    • Biology encompasses a wide range of topics, from the microscopic world of cells and molecules to the study of ecosystems and the diversity of life forms on our planet.
  • What is omics?
    • Omics is a term used in biology and related fields to describe a group of disciplines or areas of study that involve the comprehensive analysis of biological molecules on a large scale.
    • These disciplines are characterized by their focus on high-throughput data collection and analysis, which allows researchers to study biological systems at a global or holistic level.
    • The omics is derived from the word genomics, which originally referred to the study of an organism's complete set of genes (its genome), but it has since been extended to include various other "omics" fields.
