BIOL 240 - Molecular Medicine
Semester Hours: 3
Once a Year
In this course, primary and secondary sources are used to learn about human disease pathology and intervention at the molecular level. Specific diseases covered each semester vary and only two or three broad categories of disease are typically considered each semester (for example, metabolic syndrome, neurodegenerative diseases, and autoimmune diseases). In addition to exploring human disease at a molecular level, this course is also designed to help students become proficient in reading, synthesizing and writing about scientific literature.
Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes:
Undergraduate courses in cell biology and genetics, or permission of the instructor. May not be taken on a Pass/Fail basis. (Formerly BIO 253A, Special Topics in Biology: Molecular Medicine.)
Credit is given for either this course or BIO 242, not both. (Formerly BIO 242)
