Molecular and Biochemical Principles of Gene Function

Graduate / Professional

Although many graduate students in the physical sciences begin conducting their thesis work on problems in the biological sciences, many of them lack preparation in the molecular foundations of the discipline. MCDB200 provides these students with a strong foundational and practical knowledge of the contemporary field of molecular biology and genetic manipulation, greatly facilitating their thesis research. Prerequisites: CHEM 161 or 163, and BIOL 101 (or placement out of BIOL 101 via BIOL 101 placement exam, or via AP5 or IB7HL with permission of core course instructor). 0 Course cr TTh 9am-10:15am
