Cell Biology and Physiology in Health and Disease I.

Catalog description

CBPH 852 provides a broad introduction to cell biology and physiology in the context of human health and disease. Sessions will emphasize the integration of cell biological principles into physiological paradigms, and vise-versa. The course covers fundamental cellular processes such as cell organization, membrane trafficking, protein quality control, cytoskeleton, and cell motility. It also covers the development and function of the nervous and cardiovascular systems, as well as diseases of these organ systems. Journal clubs will enable students to integrate lecture material with published primary research articles (both classic and new studies) that answer important questions using cellular and physiological.
