CAMB 620 - Thematic Concepts in Developmental Biology

Institution:

University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

DiNardo, S. Prerequisite(s): BIOM 600 (CELL 600); Gene Regulation. The goal of this seminar course is to foster discussion about general strategies used by cells and organisms to solve fundamental problems during development. This is not a survey course in Developmental Biology. Rather, we focus on an overarching theme for the semester (see below), enabling us to define the issues central to that theme, and explore attempts to uncover solutions using different model systems. Primary research papers are assigned for discussion, and all students are expected to contribute thoughtfully and energetically to the discussion each week. Prior years' topics have been: "Cell migration in Development", "Evolutionary Development", "Developmental links to Disease", "Cell Biology in Development", "Stem Cells", "Rulers, Clocks & Oscillators in Development". Offered fall semester.
