BIOL 444 - Development and Cancer (4)

This course will explore at the molecular level the interface between animal development and cancer. Through didactic lectures, reading of the primary scientific literature, and in-class presentations students will explore the latest advances in understanding how the processes that govern normal cell growth and differentiation become altered in cancer. Topics will include signaling mechanisms, stem cell biology, and cell cycle control. Integrated into this material is discussion of concepts that encourage an entrepreneurial attitude and skillset.
