Human Cellular and Molecular Biology
A cellular and molecular approach to the study of the fundamental processes of life. Lecture topics underscore the concept that the behavior and interactions of molecules and cells are the foundation of modern medicine. Lecture topics include the scientific method, protein synthesis, metabolism, molecular genetics, evolution, electrical properties of membranes, cell division, and cell communication. Laboratory work provides examples of clinical application of cellular and molecular biology: molecular mechanisms of medications, diagnostic and laboratory testing, and the manifestation of genetic abnormalities. This course is restricted to students in the Physician Assistant major. 3 Credits (2 Lecture - 3 Lab)
