Principles of Signal Transduction

Graduate / Professional

The regulation of intracellular signaling is of fundamental importance to the understanding of cell function and regulation. This course introduces the broad principles of intracellular signal transduction. More detailed lectures on specific intracellular signaling pathways are given where students learn both the basic and the most current and cutting-edge concepts of intracellular signaling. Topics covered include regulation of signaling by protein phosphorylation, small G proteins, G protein-coupled receptors, hormones, phospholipids, and adhesion proteins. Additionally, lectures focus on current techniques used to study signal transduction pathways. TTh 9:25am-10:40am
