BIOL 3350 Cell and Molecular Biology
This course provides an in-depth exploration of the molecular and cellular processes that underlie life. Topics include the chemical foundations of cells, the structure and function of biomolecules, membrane dynamics, organelle function, intracellular transport, signaling pathways, gene expression and regulation, and the molecular mechanisms of the cell cycle. Students will also examine experimental techniques and model systems that have shaped the modern understanding of cell and molecular biology, including cell culture, molecular cloning, gene manipulation, protein analysis, and DNA analysis. Emphasis is placed on critical thinking, data interpretation, and application of molecular principles to real-world biological questions.
