LECTURES
The course will NOT survey all of cell biology but will rather focus on a few selected exciting topics in cell biology. Particular emphasis will be placed on emerging concepts concerning cell organization, structure and function and on how complex problems can be approached experimentally. The lecturers will assume that students are familiar with basic biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology through previous course work. If lacking background in these areas, students will be expected to do extra background reading to keep up with the pace of the lectures and/or attend review sessions by the TAs.
TEACHING ASSISTANTS
We have five outstanding teaching assistants: Bill Dowdle, Brooke Gardner, Bellos Hadjivassiliou, Scott Hansen, and Mark Kunitomi. They will offer review sessions and provide material (papers, etc.) on the course website: http://cellbio.ucsf.edu
DISCUSSION GROUPS
Each week, there will be small group discussion sessions at which research papers will be discussed in depth with a faculty discussion leader. Regular attendance of discussion sessions is mandatory for students; missing more than two discussion sessions will result in an “incomplete” for the course.FINAL EXAM
(week of June 9) The final exam will be both a written exam (based on class material and the assigned lecture papers) and an oral exam (based upon a research proposal). Faculty advisors will be assigned for the research proposals. Details will be discussed at the first class.
