BME 337 Molecular Pathways and Signaling
BME 337. Molecular Pathways and Signaling (3) This course will be designed to exploit the technologies available to understand various pathways at molecular level such as receptor ligand binding, cell signaling, protein trafficking and associated changes in gene expression controlling cell growth, cell death, cell migration, cell-cell interaction and as well to extracellular matrix. Students will be required to build mathematical models for these biological phenomena. This course will provide an overview of techniques involved such as gene sequencing, protein structures, enzymatic activities and detections, cellular processes which can have therapeutic potentials. Prerequisites: BIO 128, or consent of instructor.
