The cell is the fundamental unit of life. Understanding cell behavior and function at the cellular level is critical for furthering understanding of biological function from the molecular to organismic levels. The goals of this course are to introduce the student to basic concepts of cellular function. Initial classes will introduce the student to gene expression, cell structure, cell motility, cell proliferation, and signal transduction. Subsequent classes will be devoted to introducing the student to current research in cancer, neuroscience, immunology, and stem cells to demonstrate how basic biological processes combine to form a coherent whole, as well as go awry. |
