BIOL - 335. Developmental Biology

(3 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory)
4 credit(s)
This course is designed to give a firm background in classical animal embryology, as well as to introduce current questions of developmental biology at molecular, cellular, tissue, and organismal levels. This course will examine the molecular mechanisms that direct developmental processes in a range of animals, with an emphasis placed on highlighting the experimental basis for our current understanding of these mechanisms. The use of invertebrate model genetic organisms to identify conserved components and mechanisms of development will be a central theme of the course. Lab fee.
