Academic Program
The core curriculum is designed to provide students with a foundation for understanding and conducting research in experimental biology. The curriculum is flexible so that beyond the core classes, students have freedom to develop their own areas of emphasis.
Biological Regulatory Mechanisms (Biochemistry 201A)
The discovery of principles which form the foundation of molecular biology and recent advances in rapidly developing areas of the field. Topics covered are RNA transcription, protein translation, DNA replication, control mechanisms, and genome structure and organization.
Cell Biology (Cell Biology 245)
Modern aspects of the molecular basis of cell function are examined with emphasis on how cells move, secrete, divide and communicate with each other.
Principles in Molecular Genetics (Genetics 200A)
An in-depth analysis of genetic mechanisms in selected prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Topics include recombination, mutagenesis, gene expression, mapping, meiotic and mitotic segregation, developmental genetics.
Structure of Macromolecules (Biochemistry 200A)
The course is aimed at helping students plan experiments and critically understand published work in the structure and function of macromolecules.
and one elective:
Students can choose from a variety of courses offered in many different departments to fulfill their elective requirement.
