BY 4156 - Eukaryotic Cell Biology

This course emphasizes the molecular basis of cell structure and function in relation to cell, organ, and organism physiology in health and disease with a focus on vertebrate animals. The molecular basis of protein function is explored and the biophysical basis of cellular reactions is developed. Subcellular and extracellular macromolecular structure and dynamics are investigated in relation to their physiological function. Signaling pathways are investigated and explored in relation to the role in development, heath and disease. Students who successfully complete this course will be well prepared for Professional or Graduate School or careers in the Biomedical Sciences.
