Advanced study of various topics in cell biology.

Focuses on critical concepts in developmental genetics and genomics, emphasizing primary literature and new cutting edge approaches in genetic model organisms such as worms, flies, fish, and mice, with relevance for human genetics and disease.

Studies in selected areas of Systems Biology.

A journal club examining data science and machine learning applications in systems biology.

A survey course of the principal subfields of genomics and their applications to biological and health sciences that covers genome assembly and annotation, genome structure, comparative genomics, population genomics, functional genomics, and medical genomics.

A broadly based course including topics in extracellular matrix, cytoskeleton, organelle biogenesis, receptor-mediated endocytosis, signal transduction, cell cycle, and developmental biology.

Introduces concepts needed to understand cell and developmental biology at the systems level, i.e., how the parts (molecules) work together to create a complex output. Emphasis on using mathematical/computational modeling to expand/modify insights provided by intuition.

The basic characteristics and development roles of embryonic, adult, and cancer stem cells in the human body and in model systems and the use of experimental and genetic methods to analyze and manipulate their properties.
