Tang, Armstrong This course examines the function of organisms at the cellular and molecular level through discussion, analysis of scientific literature, and laboratory experimentation. Topics include signal transduction, nuclear structure and function, cell division, and apoptosis (cell suicide). The laboratory uses modern cell biology techniques including fluorescent microscopy and immunodetection of proteins. Prerequisites: Biology 43, Chemistry 14 and 15 (or 29), or both semesters of the AISS sequence, or permission of instructor. One previous upper-division biology course is strongly recommended. Enrollment limited to 18. Laboratory fee $50. Offered every semester.
