Approved for arts and sciences core curriculum: critical thinking.
-
3.00 Credits
Studies basic research using molecular biology and its contribution to treatment of human diseases. Includes an overview of physiology, clinical presentation, basic research, and detailed analyses of molecular approaches taken to understand and treat human diseases. Prereqs., MCDB 2150, 3120, and 3500. Recommended prereq., MCDB 4620. Approved for arts and sciences core curriculum: critical thinking.
-
3.00 Credits
Stem cells have received considerable notice in both the scientific and social arena. The course will examine the stem cell concept by a critical examination of the primary scientific literature. Topics will include pluripotency and plasticity, environment, technology, self-renewal, transdifferentiation, molecular signature, epigenetic programming and stem cell versus cancer cell. Prereqs., MCDB 2150, 3120, 3500, or instructor consent. Same as MCDB 5615. Approved for arts and science core curriculum: critical thinking.
-
3.00 Credits
Analyzes development, emphasizing cellular, molecular, and genetic mechanisms. Topics include descriptive embryology, developmental control of gene expression in eukaryotic cells, mechanisms of differentiation and morphogenesis, and developmental genetics. Prereq., MCDB 3120 and 3500, or instructor consent. The related lab course, MCDB 4660, can be taken concurrently. Credit not granted for this course and MCDB 4620, EPOB 3650, or EPOB 4600.
-
2.00 Credits
Provides an opportunity for guided research on Caenorhabditis elegans and Xenopus. Experiments will focus on descriptive and experimental embryology, developmental genetics, and application of cell and molecular biology methods applied to developing organisms. This course uses living vertebrate animals and/or tissues. Prereq. or coreq., MCDB 4650. Credit not granted for this course and MCDB 4630 or EPOB 4600.
