Didactic COURSES
BIOL 210 - Laboratory Techniques (J-Term)
Lab sessions designed to prove a firm foundation in basic molecular and cellular biology techniques and procedures, use of equipment and apparatus; keeping a lab notebook and in data collection and treatment in real world settings.
Outcome: Students will acquire basic skills needed to work in a modern molecular biology research laboratory.
BIOL 251 - Cell Biology (Fall or Spring)
This course covers basic molecular and cellular studies of living organisms, emphasizing the relationships between subcellular structures and biochemical and physiological functions of cells.
Outcome: Students will become familiar with a wide range of cell biological principles and experimental approaches that led to important discoveries, gain an appreciation of the scientific method, and learn about the goals of modern cell biology research.
BIOL 304 - Introduction to Developmental Biology (Spring)
The analysis of developmental processes such as; fertilization, embryonic cleavage, cell determination and cell differentiation in selected species. Emphasis will be on experiments that reveal how these processes are controlled at the molecular and cellular levels.
Outcome: Students will become familiar with a wide range of developmental biology principles and experimental approaches that led to important discoveries, gain an appreciation of the scientific method, and learn about the goals of modern developmental biology research.
