Investigations in Angiogenesis I

Catalog description

This course will involve training in how to design, conduct, and analyze independent research to study the Biochemistry of Angiogenesis. For this course the student will study the biochemistry of differentiation of capillary endothelial cells. Studies will include screening of angiogenic factors affecting capillary endothelial cell proliferation, the mapping of cell cycle, and the characterization of factors responsible for cell proliferation and differentiation. These studies will be expected to answer new questions and to generate novel data, as opposed to reproducing experiments that have been performed before.
