Cell and Developmental Biology 530
Fall 2003
Kristen Verhey, Course Director
This graduate course is designed to present
basic information and very recent developments in key areas of cell
biology, including such topics as membranes, protein synthesis, folding
and trafficking, epithelial polarity, cytoskeleton, cell-cell and
cell-substrate interactions, and signal transduction. Participating
faculty are drawn from various campus and medical school departments
and provide lectures in areas of their expertise. Lecturers are
encouraged to provide a part of the lecture material in the context of
actual experiments so that students are exposed to current experimental
approaches in cell
biology, as well as basic information. In addition to a highly
recommended
cell biology textbook, reading lists are provided, and 1-2 papers are
generally
put on line (and on reserve in the library) for each lecture.
