Fall 2019:
Although this is an upper-division course in the biology core curriculum, the field of cell biology is so broad in scope and detailed in mechanism that this course will be introductory in nature. Students learn how to work through core processes of eukaryotic cell function, explore examples of underlying molecular mechanisms, and explain how these processes go wrong in disease scenarios. The knowledge and critical thinking skills students acquire in this course apply to future analytical pursuits at FIU and elsewhere.

As much as is known about cell biology, there is far more to be discovered in the future by scientists like you! |
Regarding Fall 2019 enrollment:
If you try to enroll in this section of PCB4023 and are unable to do so because it is full, it can still work to add in via Panthersoft during the summer and during add/drop week (at the moments when spots open up, so you really have to check a lot if you want to try this). Another option is to enroll in Leung Kim’s section, which also provides students with highly competitive training in Cell Biology.

Coming in Spring 2020:
This course interweaves content from the Brock textbook, new scientific literature and practical examples in order to maximize student understanding and competitiveness in this subject area. As microbiology by definition a very broad subject, we cover a diverse range of topics in this course.
Information will be posted as it becomes available. |
