The Molecular and Cellular Mechanome

3 credits · Undergraduate

Applications of molecular and cellular biophysics and mechanics over various lengths, energy and timescales to describe biological phenomena through an 'omics' systems level perspective to molecular motors, cell machinery, mechanotransduction, cell migration, cell division, and nonequilibrium receptor ligand interactions. Physical and engineering based descriptions of molecular and cellular machinery incorporating biophysics and statistical and continuum mechanics perspectives. Modern and historical results, instrumentation, and measurement techniques. Prerequisite: Junior standing. FALL. [3]
