CELLULAR AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY/PATHOLOGY SEMINAR

PATH 752
Course Description

The emphasis is on our current understanding of molecular and cellular mechanisms. Wherever possible, human diseases are used to illustrate the outcome at the organismal level of defects in these mechanisms. Discussions focus on immunology and cancer biology. Topics include mechanisms of cell survival, cell division, signal transduction, gene expression, vesicular transport, autophagy and cell death. Explore a broad set of cell biology topics, in greater detail such that they will have a better understanding of the breadth and diversity of cellular functions by the end of the semester. Learn how to critically evaluate the literature and the rigor of research.

BIOLOGY OF AGING

PATH 751

Examines the molecular, cellular, physiological, and clinical aspects of aging beyond basic biology in a biomedical/clinical research setting. Aging and age-related diseases are examined via the combined expertise of basic scientists and clinicians covering a range of topics directly relevant to biology of aging research, including the clinical perspective, the research perspective, and the integration of the two.

CELLULAR AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY/PATHOLOGY

PATH 750

Emphasizes current understanding of molecular and cellular mechanisms. Wherever possible, human diseases are used to illustrate the outcome at the organismal level of defects in these mechanisms. Focuses on different cell types and how cells function. We also discuss how cells talk to themselves and each other. Topics include mechanisms of cell survival and division. Provides an overview of a broad set of cell biology topics to demonstrate the breadth and diversity of cellular functions.
