Molecular Biology

Catalog description

What is the nature of biological information? How is it read and decoded? How is it reliably passed from one generation to another? How are errors during DNA replication and protein synthesis corrected? How is cell fate determined? These and other questions will be answered in the course. In particular, the molecular biology course will help students understand concepts and techniques required to answer fundamental questions in molecular biology. Students will also learn how to design experiments, test hypotheses and interpret results. Finally, they will get the opportunity to review research papers and critically analyze experimental data.
