Subject:

Description:

K. Belanger Every living organism is comprised of one or more cells. This course examines how cells grow, reproduce, and maintain themselves, and how cellular activities contribute to the organization and maintenance of multicellular organisms. Course topics include investigating the function of specific organelles and the cytoskeleton, intracellular protein transport, mechanisms of cell cycle regulation and programmed cell death, and cell-cell interactions. The course requires students to critically examine primary journal articles and complete writing assignments that utilize recent primary literature to explore cell structure and function. The credit-bearing laboratory component BIOL 326L must be taken concurrently with BIOL 326. The laboratory emphasizes the integration of molecular and genetic techniques with fluorescence light microscopy to ask novel questions about eukaryotic cells. Prerequisite: BIOL 212.
