ANA 511. Cellular and Molecular Foundations
Associate Professor Dickerson and staff
Prerequisites: permission of instructor
Credit: four hours
The focus on this course will be a practical understanding of gene expression,
from DNA replication, RNA transcription and processing, to protein translation
and trafficking. This knowledge will provide the student with a foundation for
understanding how cells function, both alone and in clusters that form tissues
and organs. The coursework will also provide the student with a knowledge base
to evaluate modern molecular biological techniques and their application to
neuroscience. (fall)
