Molecular biology is the area of biology that analyzes biological phenomena at the molecular level. Molecular Biology overlaps with Genetics, Biochemistry and Cell Biology to ultimately establish unambiguously the causal relationship between genetic information and biological outcomes. The course will focus on how molecular biology is used in basic and medical research to dissect the mechanisms involved in a large variety of biological problems. Students in the course will explore molecular literature and techniques that are relevant to their interest through seminar presentations, writing critiques, scientific reviews. The schedule and evaluation of the course will be finalized after consultation with the students.
