BIOL 19 Honors Cell Structure and Function

This honors introduction to cell biology is for students with a strong background in biology and chemistry. This course will discuss fundamental topics, including protein targeting, the cytoskeleton, membrane transport, cellular energetics, the cell cycle, and signal transduction. The course will emphasize experimental strategies to understand eukaryotic cell function, and the laboratory will provide hands-on experience in modern cell biological techniques, including microscopy, cell fractionation, and protein purification.

Biology 19 is open only to first-year students and enrollment is limited. Invitation to enroll will be based in part on performance on the Biology Placement Exam (online). Biology 19 is a foundation course equivalent of Biology 12.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
