Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms

Catalog description

This course combines elements of biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology, and genetics to provide the foundation necessary for the systems -based courses that follow. Among the topics presented in this course are cell structure, cell receptors and sig naling, macromolecules, basic metabolism, DNA structure and function, protein synthesis, cell cycle, gametogenesis, embryogenesis, genetics, hematopoiesis, and erythrocyte structure and function. This course is largely lecture-based, but does include integrated case sessions and reading assignments.
