BIOL 37 Endocrinology

The molecular, biochemical, genetic and physiologic aspects of the endocrine system will be explored with an emphasis on human and mammalian biology. We will use examples of pathobiology arising from dysfunction of this system to draw attention to the normal modes of endocrine regulation. Topics will be drawn from seminal publications in the biomedical literature. The course will employ a hypothesis-based, problem-solving paradigm, involving, in part, the study of experimental techniques used in investigation.

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.
