Molecular Cellular Biology

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This course is intended for Biology Majors who have completed Classic and Molecular Genetics ( BIOS 20250 ) but open to students in Neuroscience and Behavior, Biochemistry and Preprofessional Studies Majors who have the appropriate background. This course explores the structural and functional basis of cell biology, with specific emphasis on molecular mechanisms that regulate cellular activities involved in protein folding, biological membrane function, organelle biogenesis, vesicular transport, cell signaling, cell cycle control and mitosis. The course incorporates the experimental basis of concepts in cell biology and modern day applications of cell biology research in human disease. Course content provides essential foundations for MCAT and GRE exam preparation. The optional Molecular Cell Biology Research course ( BIOS 27241 ) adds more exposure to modern Cell Biology topics.
