Systems Biology: Mammalian Signaling Networks
Systems Biology: Mammalian Signaling Networks covers experimental/mathematical modeling of gene/protein networks and mammalian systems, including ECM structure/function and engineering applications.
Summary
Past student reviews · Pamela Kreeger
The course required heavy journal readings prior to lectures, and students without fast note-taking skills needed to copy notes from peers.
What you’ll be able to do
Describe the structure and function of individual extracellular matrix (ECM) components and their relevance to physiological and pathophysiological processes
Apply biological knowledge of the ECM to inform the manipulation, mimicking, or engineering of ECM-based systems
Critically evaluate ECM engineering approaches
Apply advanced knowledge of bioconjugate chemistry to design dynamic scaffold platforms

Student experience
the class
Past student reviews · Pamela Kreeger
One student found the course bland and highly specific, noting that weekly research discussions made the content inapplicable.

Past student reviews · Pamela Kreeger
Pamela Kreeger wrote and talked too fast in lecture, abruptly switching pages before students could finish, which hindered note-taking.
