Signaling in Molecular Cell Biology

Catalog description

The objective of this course is to provide important foundations in cellular signaling in the context of biochemistry and cell biology for first and second year graduate students. The course focuses on cell-to-cell communication and intracellular signaling via different classes of cell surface receptors using specific receptor paradigms from human, other animals, plants, yeast and E.coli. Primary literature will be used for in-class discussions and homework assignments to highlight key experiments and introduce students to relevant experimental techniques. Graded on A-F basis only.
