Description:


Professors

Judith Kimble

Course goals:

(1) To broaden our knowledge about molecular mechanisms of development.

(2) To think critically about the interpretation of data supporting key paradigms of development.

Topic:

We will focus this fall on the interface between cell cycle and development. Specific topics will be decided at the organizational meeting, but possibilities include the cell cycle together with one of the following: stem cells, networks, cell fate specification, cell polarity, tissue patterning, growth, aging, germline, neurons, epigenetics, plants, flies, worms, mammals, chemical biology, disease. Think about what general topic YOU would like to learn more about and work with others to present, and bring your thoughts to the organizational meeting!!

Format:

Each session will meet for ~ two hours and be led by 2-4 discussion leaders, depending on class size. The first hour will cover basic concepts and necessary background, while the second half will discuss a key paper or two from the primary literature. We will have a total of 6 or 7 sessions.

Dates:

The following eight dates are available for class sessions: September 29, October 6, 20, 27, November 3, 24; December 1 and 15.

Who is in class?:

Biochem 912 is open to grad students, postdocs, scientists, and faculty. All interested and willing to participate are encouraged to attend the organizational meeting.

Our Course Website:

The topics and discussion leaders were decided at the organizational meeting.  The class schedule is posted under the Calendar tab, and  relevant pdfs will continue to be added to their respective dates.
