Fundamentals in Biological Sciences: Genomics, Cell Bio, and Developmental Bio

1 Unit · Graduate

Fundamental concepts in the areas of genomics, cell biology, and developmental biology will be discussed. We will use both foundational discoveries and current advances to introduce concepts relevant to these fields. In addition, we will discuss the historical and modern approaches and logic used to address fundamental biological questions regarding these concepts. For each concept, we will end with a discussion of what outstanding questions remain and how to critically and rigorously address these questions using a variety of approaches.
