BIOL 541 - Topics in Integrative Biology

Institution:

Case Western Reserve University

Subject:

Description:

The goal of this course is to encourage graduate students to think about any question in biology from a broad-based perspective, focusing on the integration of three major themes: 1) evolution and its effects, 2) the cellular basis of life, and 3) systems level control. Each semester, the course may focus on a different topic, but it will be examined from the perspectives of these three focus areas. One faculty instructor with strength in each of these areas will present a few introductory lectures to provide the class with a basic understanding of the topic as it is studied in their area. Then, each student will research a subject covered that semester and develop and present this subject to the class with an explicit evolutionary, cellular or systems level approach. Students will be graded on the quality of their presentations and the overall level of their participation in class.
