Current Topics in Stem Cell and Developmental Biology

1 credits · Graduate School

This course in both fall and spring semesters meets once per week to hear a graduate student, postdoctoral fellow, or faculty member discuss a research paper from outside his or her own field of research, with substantial audience Q&A and discussion, during a weekly journal club. Students taking the course for credit must attend most of the semester's presentations. After pairing with a faculty mentor, they together choose and prepare a topical paper that the trainee presents towards the end of the semester. Students planning to register must contact and discuss plans with the director (chris.wright@vanderbilt.edu) in the preceding semester. FALL, SPRING. [1] Wright.
