| Description | Cells are the foundation of all life. The structures and processes inside cells determine how life functions (or dysfunctions). We will discover what is known about how cells work through a combination of primary literature, laboratory research, and textbook readings. We will also discuss what is still not known and how scientists work to find the answers. The class structure will be divided into one day of lecture and one day of problem set review. Students that take Cell Biology should also enroll in Cell Biology Laboratory (NS-246), the laboratory component of the course. Keywords:Biomedical research, neuroscience, cancer, stem cells |
