MCBG 510S MCBG Journal Club 1.0 Credit
College/Department: COM School of Biomedical Sciences & Professional Studies
Repeat Status: Can be repeated 15 times for 100 credits
MCBG 512S MCBG Journal Club 1.0 Credit
This course is designed to have students read and critically analyze recent research in the fields of molecular biology, cell biology, and genetics. Each week a student will choose a high-impact paper of broad significance published within the last two years for presentation. All students are expected to have read the paper prior to the meeting and will participate in a roundtable discussion of the data presented in the figures and the authors’ conclusions. Various faculty members from the MCBG program will serve as moderators or facilitators during the group discussion. This course is required for students in the MCBG MS and PhD programs until permission for thesis writing is granted.
Repeat Status: Can be repeated multiple times for credit
MCBG 513S Molec & Cell Biology Seminar 1.0 Credit
Faculty and students meet in an informal way to discuss selected subjects, hear guest lectures or explore topics related to the biomedical science of interest to the group.
Repeat Status: Can be repeated multiple times for credit
MCBG 514S Cell Cycle and Apoptosis 2.0 Credits
The main goal of this advanced course is to provide an in-depth molecular understanding of the principles of cell growth and cell death. This course will build upon basic information taught in the Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics Module of the Biomedical Sciences first year graduate core curriculum and intended for advanced graduate students ( 2nd yr. and higher) looking for further understanding in the fields of cell cycle and apoptosis. This course will also emphasize advanced topics and methods not in the core.
Repeat Status: Not repeatable for credit
MCBG 515S Techniques in Molecular & Cell Biology & Genetics 2.0 Credits
This course is designed to teach students essential strategies and techniques in Molecular and Cellular Biology and Genetics, with a goal of preparing students to understand the techniques used in modern primary literature and their own research. The course is structured around a combination of readings, lectures, individual exercises and small group exercises in a problem-oriented fashion. The course will emphasize practical applications of applied Molecular and Cellular Biology and Genetics, including experimental design and choice of techniques.
