CELL 300 - Advanced Cell Biology I
Advanced course studying various topics in modern molecular cell biology emphasizing the design of experiments, the interpretation of their results and the extrapolation of their findings. Examines aspects of eukaryotic cell structure and function. Includes, but not restricted to, areas such as protein targeting, organelle biogenesis, intracellular signaling, pathogen-cell interactions and cell-cell interactions. Makes extensive use of scientific literature to illustrate important concepts. Prerequisites: BIOL 201 or CELL 201 and BIOCH 200.
CELL 400 - Techniques in Cell Biology
A laboratory course that teaches the application of modern cell biology techniques, including cell growth, microscopy and genetic manipulation to understand cell structure and function. Prerequisite: any 300-level Science course. Enrollment is limited, and registration is by permission of the department.
CELL 425 - Systems Biology
Systems biology is the molecular analysis of organisms and involves understanding the integrated and interacting network of genes, proteins and biochemical processes that give rise to what we define as life. Systems biology connects and integrates genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, engineering, cell biology and genetics with mathematics and computational analysis to enable the comprehensive discovery of principles underlying the functioning of living organisms. This course provides the student with the fundamentals of a systems biology approach to understanding organisms. Systems biology projects using database analysis software will be a large component of this course and therefore personal computers are required. Prerequisites: CELL 201, BIOL 201 or consent of Department. Note: Offered in odd-numbered years.
CELL 499A - Research Project
Directed research carried out in a laboratory of a member participating in the Cell Biology Program. The project normally continues through Fall and Winter Terms. Successful completion of this course requires application of laboratory skills, a written report and an oral presentation on the research project. Prerequisite: A 300-level CELL, Biological Sciences, or Biochemistry course and consent of the course coordinator.
CELL 499B - Research Project
Directed research carried out in a laboratory of a member participating in the Cell Biology Program. The project normally continues through Fall and Winter Terms. Successful completion of this course requires application of laboratory skills, a written report and an oral presentation on the research project. Prerequisite: A 300-level CELL, Biological Sciences, or Biochemistry course and consent of the course coordinator.
CELL 500 - Techniques in Cell Biology
A laboratory course that teaches the application of modern cell biology techniques, including cell growth, microscopy and genetic manipulation to understand cell structure and function. Prerequisite: any 300-level Science course. Enrollment is limited, and registration is by permission of the department.
