GPLS 601 - MECHANISMS IN BIOMEDICAL SCIENCES: FROM GENES TO DISEASE
Mechanisms in Biomedical Science is a comprehensive overview of current knowledge in cellular, molecular, and structural biology. This course provides the background necessary for subsequent specialized studies in biomedical research in a concentrated program. The GPILS Core Course is organized into 10 sections that span molecular biology, genetics, proteins, pharmacology, metabolism, membranes and organelles, protein processing, membrane signaling, cell signaling, immunobiology and development. The format is highly interactive, and includes: - Lectures presenting creative, cutting-edge approaches to investigating fundamental, current biomedical questions, together with review of fundamental principles of molecular and cellular biology - Vertically-integrated topics that tie together the study of individual genes, proteins, cellular function and associated clinical disorders - Emphasis on development and critical evaluation of scientific hypotheses - Introduction to state-of-the-art techniques - Mentored discussions of primary papers - Topic-specific seminars, including cancer, neuroscience, and drug development/gene therapy Upon completion of the core curriculum in early December, students may begin a lab rotation and/or participate in program specific course work.
