Gene Regulation: A Bench-to-Bedside Journey

Harvard FAS

How do all our cells carry the same DNA yet perform distinct functions in our body? How do cells know what type of proteins they should produce? In this class, we will look at the rules and mechanisms that enable a subset of genes to be selectively expressed in each cell. We will examine how disruptions in gene regulation contribute to disease and design therapeutic strategies for correcting gene expression in disease.This course adopts a classroom “bench-to-bedside” approach,…
