Advanced Molecular Biology

Catalog description

This course is focused on the structure and function of genes, including DNA replication, repair and packaging in chromosomes, the regulation of gene expression, transcription and translation. In addition to all major topics in molecular biology, we will discuss the molecular bases of organism development, the function of the immune system, and the biology of stem cells. The course will also focus on key methods in modern molecular biology/genetic engineering and their research and clinical applications, for example, for studying diseases such as cancer. | Prerequisites: BMS-UY 1001 , BMS-UY 1003 and CM-UY 2213 or instructor's/advisor's permission.
