Endocrinology
Introduction to endocrinology covering hormones in growth, development, homeostasis, reproduction, and behavior, emphasizing vertebrate systems from molecular to systems levels.
Summary
What you’ll be able to do
Describe ways in which hormones act at target cells to influence diverse physiological processes and behaviors across a range of human and nonhuman animal species.
Critique popular press and peer-reviewed scientific articles in endocrinology.
Engage in discussion with peers on topics related to endocrinology.
Develop an in depth understanding of a focal topic in endocrinology through critical evaluation of primary literature and scientific writing.
