Metabolic Regulation

2 credits · Graduate

This Course will provide a graduate-level view of metabolism spanning the physiological, biochemical and molecular aspects of metabolic homeostasis. The course will emphasize four areas: history of metabolism research across primarily mammalian species; past and current available methodological tools to understand metabolism; established and emerging principles of metabolic regulation, with lessons learned from classic physiological and biochemical investigations, isotope tracing and modern molecular techniques and the clinical assessment of metabolism and targeting of metabolic regulation/signaling, including the therapeutic application of diet, pharmaceuticals, cell therapies, tissue culture/engineering, and genetic medicine.
