Cellular Foundations of Biological Systems

Catalog description

This is a core course in the Complex Biological Systems graduate program. This course will emphasize the diversity of cellular characteristics and functions in unicellular and multicellular organisms and the ability of cells to interact, respond to their environment and create biological networks. Problem-based approaches will be used to address cellular questions from various research angles to develop student inquisitive research skills. Students will learn about investigative and experimental methodologies to address relevant questions in modern cell biology.
