BIOL 425 - Developmental Biology (4)

Introduces students to the processes of morphological development, with a focus on animal embryogenesis. Students will learn about the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying development from a fertilized egg to a reproductive adult. This class will also introduce students to key methods in developmental biology, and how these methods can be used to understand both healthy development and developmental conditions. Lectures will include an introduction to concepts and detailed notes, and labs will involve a mixture of molecular and computational methods. Prerequisites: BIOL 134, 135, 136, 210. Odd years Fall.
