Molecular and Cellular Bioengineering

Catalog description

Learn some of the fundamental principles and cutting edge research topics in molecular and cellular bioengineering, while improving your scientific communication and quantitative skills. The course is structured around weekly discussions of selected articles, and includes oral presentations, written critiques, and problem sets. Example topics: DNA sequencing, transcriptional regulation, genetic engineering, protein engineering, cell signaling, and synthetic biological circuits. In addition, you will practice computing probabilities, solving differential equations, and coding stochastic simulations (some require Python).
