Introduction to Cellular Signaling

Catalog description

This course offers an introduction to the underlying foundations and basic mechanisms of signal transduction in animal cells. We will look at several aspects of molecular and cellular biology, from basic biochemical concepts to structural biology, development, differentiation and disease states. Understanding these basic principles, pathways, and processes will allow us to explore how nanobiotechnology exploits these molecular mechanisms and paradigms. Students will present on cellular signaling and nanotechnology studies recently published by leaders in the field. Prerequisite(s): N SCI/I NSC 240.
