Short Course Description
The developmental biology class is open for students of the Life Sciences Faculty, the Faculty of Medicine, and Sagol School.
Final grade: 60% Final exam, 30% Presentation, 10% Attendance and participation in presentations (4 lectures; 2.5% for each lecture)
The goal of the Developmental Biology course is to introduce broad concepts of the genetics that underlie embryonic development, with a special emphasis on development of the nervous system. Teaching will introduce principles of development, major signaling pathways that are required for organ growth and development, and cellular differentiation.
We will introduce the theoretical basis for cutting-edge research methods that are used in developmental biology studies, including stem cell techniques, molecular approaches, and imaging.
