BIOL 109 Principles of cell growth and proliferation

The core cell cycle is central to development and disease. Historically, our understanding of the cell cycle comes from the remarkable combination of genetic and biochemical approaches in organisms from yeast to frogs to sea urchins. More recently, quantitative imaging and mathematical modeling have dramatically increased our understanding of cell cycle control and regulation. This course will examine key papers that lead to the identification of the core cell cycle oscillator and then skip forward to discuss exciting recent findings in cell cycle regulations.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
