About this course

This course satisfies the advanced experience requirement for the Biology major. In this upper level course, students will study the mechanisms and functions of movement across scales ranging from the functioning of the musculoskeletal system at the organismal level to the motions of proteins, lipids, and ions at the molecular level. Students will meet for 2 hours each week with one hour devoted to an interactive discussion of an underlying biological principle and the other hour devoted to the analysis of a single primary research article focussed on that same biological principle. Students should have completed coursework at the 3000+ level in molecular cell biology. Previous or concurrent enrollment in Cell Biology and Biological Chemistry/Biochemistry I is strongly recommended.
