Design Biology Essentials: Testable Biology Without Storytelling

Design Biology is a systems-based, test-driven way to study living organisms. In this course, you will learn how to turn big biological claims into testable statements, define system boundaries, identify inputs and outputs, and evaluate whether an explanation works as a real mechanism under real constraints. You will use a repeatable audit method built on operational definitions, proper controls, and severe testing logic. The course includes guided templates, short quizzes, and case studies. You will finish by producing a complete Design Biology Audit of a biological claim of your choice.
