This course deals with the molecular basis for the structure
and function of cells. Dynamic properties of cells will be
examined using an approach that integrates information from
advanced microscopic techniques together with genetic and
molecular biology approaches. We will cover research
techniques in cell biology, protein synthesis and sorting,
membrance traffic, cell motility, cell growth and division,
cell interactions, and signal transduction. The course will
consist of lectures and will make use of a standard text as
well as original research papers. An emphasis will be
placed on the process of discovery: What experiments
underlie our understanding of cell structure and function,
and what experiments are appropriate for testing and
extending current theories in cell biology?
MAJOR READINGS
Alberts et al, "Molecular Biology of the
Cell" and current literature.
EXAMINATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS
Short weekly assignments, one
midterm exam, two short essays (2-3 pages) and a final exam.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS and/or COMMENTS
Graduate students
only will be required to give a presentation on a current
research topic in cell biology.
Unless preregistered students attend the first class meeting
or communicate directly with the instructor prior to the
first class, they will be dropped from the class list.
NOTE: Students must still submit a completed Drop/Add form
to the Registrar's Office.
