Learning Outcomes
- design experimental strategies for current research questions related to cell biology that utilize microscopy, genetics, and biochemical approaches.
- demonstrate a working knowledge of advanced topics in cell biology through oral presentations, in-depth discussions and a written research proposal
- explain how a hypothesis can or cannot be tested in the context of available experimental tools.
- formulate and experimentally test a hypothesis using an experimental technique, such as microscopy, genetics or biochemistry
