Molecular Cell Biology and Neuroscience Foundations I

Catalog description

MCBN Foundations is designed as a two-semester course sequence. MCBN Foundations provides a broad overview of content areas within biomedical science and biological systems, especially those that are relevant to active research laboratories within the graduate school. Course content will be delivered in modules (four per semester), led and taught by faculty experts within each content area. Each module has a Module Director who is responsible for leading and grading each module with oversight by the Course Director(s). Each module is organized to include lectures, a discussion on research methods relevant to the module’s content area, a discussion of primary literature that integrates the lecture and methodology content, and an exam.
