Prerequisite: BI204 and additional course work in molecular cell biology (such as BI304, BI414 or BI440)
Lab fee required.
This course introduces students to original research in cell biology. Students learn how to use the scientific literature and online databases to design and conduct experiments on an original research question involving the cellular responses of model organisms. Students will work in research teams on projects that are intended generate publication-quality data. Projects will involve cell culture, the generation of transgenic cell lines, light and fluorescence microscopy, analysis of cellular macromolecules and physiological characterization.
