This laboratory course is designed to complement the undergraduate-level Translational Cell Biology course (MCB 01306). It explores a range of fundamental cellular biology questions that have a direct impact in treating human diseases and the experimental approaches needed to answer them. Students will use genetically tractable disease models to learn how cell biology methods can be applied to disease. This course will combine laboratories and project-based learning experiences, in which students will further develop skills in experimental design, performing experiments, data processing and analysis, as well as oral and written communication.
