Classes
Developmental Biology BI409
This course focuses on the mechanisms by which multicellular organisms develop from single cells. It ocuses on modern biological knowledge in this area, the scientific analysis that has lead to this knowledge, and the unresolved questions at the forefront of the field.
Cell Biology LSCBB520
This graduate level course combines platform lectures and instructor led reading of the primary literature to cover the mechanisms of cell growth, division, communication, homeostasis and differentiation.
Seminar in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry LSMBB611
The goals of this course are to (1) gain a more thorough understanding of the molecular mechanisms that underlie tissue patterning, (2) practice literature searching, (3) practice assimilating and organizing information, and (4) gain experience in oral presentation and discussion. The course will be run as a student guided tutorial based on topics approved by the instructor.
Laboratory in Developmental Biology, Genetics and Cell Biology BIOL312L
The goals of this course are to (1) provide a hands-on experience with modern experimental approaches, (2) expose students to modern laboratory methods, (3) practice basic laboratory procedures, logic and documentation and (3) develop scientific writing skills. Expperimental studies of genetics and development of selecte eucaryotic model organisms with an emphasis on the molecular and cellular mechanisms of inheritance.
Essential Cell Biology BIOL203
This course provides and introduction to the basic concepts of cell biology, with a focus on development of the teeth.
