Course Description

This introductory course integrates the major concepts of Cell and Molecular Biology and Genetics.

  • cellular structure and function,
  • macromolecules of cells,
  • bioenergetics,
  • cell communication/signaling,
  • central dogma of molecular biology,
  • cell cycle and cell differentiation,
  • Mendelian Genetics

These topics are discussed at a basic level. The connections between concepts and theories are emphasized. In the accompanying laboratories will use tools used in cellular and molecular biology experiments.
