BIOC Biochemistry and Cell Biology - Graduate Research Colloquium
This course is required of all students during each term of residence, except summer. An essential element of scientific training is in the critical analysis and communication of experimental research in an oral format. Evaluation will be based on quality of the work described, quality of critical analysis, and on presentation style, including effective use of audio-visual materials. Although minor variations in format exist among these series, normally these series meet weekly; and all students will be required to participate in at least one Journal Club presentation each term that describes work from the current literature and one Research in Progress presentation each academic year that describes their own research. This course is not open to undergraduates. Students may choose from the following topics, enrolling in the course named:
BIOC 259, Actin Cytoskeleton
BIOC 260, Structural Biology (Identical to CHEM 264—Enroll in CHEM 264)
BIOC 261, Phosphorylation Signaling JC
BIOC 262, Lipid Biology and Neurodegeneration
