Endocrinology

Undergraduate

The molecular, biochemical, genetic and physiologic aspects of the endocrine system will be explored with an emphasis on human and mammalian biology. We will use examples of pathobiology arising from dysfunction of this system to draw attention to the normal modes of endocrine regulation. Topics will be drawn from seminal publications in the biomedical literature. The course will employ a hypothesis-based, problem-solving paradigm, involving, in part, the study of experimental techniques used in investigation.
