CENTER FOR NATURAL, COMPUTER & DATA SCIENCES:
*BIO 278 (Developmental Biology) (instructor: Jenny Lenkowski)
The cellular and organism-level processes that occur during typical development of plants and animals will be explored in this course. The central dogma, cell signaling, mitosis, and evolutionary change will be considered in addition to how typical development may be disrupted by the environment. Connections between developmental biology and social issues will be discussed.
*BIO 420 (Seminar in Neurobiology) (instructor: Jenny Lenkowski)
This seminar will focus on how nervous systems develop and function. Topics will include developmental neurobiology, function of the central nervous system, regeneration, and diseases of the central nervous system. Through critical analysis of primary scientific literature, students will become familiar with study systems, experimental methods used, and current knowledge in the field of neurobiology.
