Applied Cell Biology

Catalog description

The course provides a hands-on experience in biology lab to conduct experiments, collect and analyze scientific data with the purpose of using the data to infer biological principals. Students will learn the details of western blot technique, commonly used in biology labs. In addition, they will apply the technique to study how insulin triggers specific signaling in target cells. This lab module will reinforce the students' understanding of material seen in Cell Biology lecture course (co-requisite 03-240) and will prepare them for future lab courses.
