BIO 43: Introduction to Laboratory Research in Neuronal Cell Biology
This course provides an authentic research experience where you will study the consequences of disease-related mutations in a neuronal kinesin (KIF1A). You will evaluate scientific arguments; make discoveries by generating, testing, and revising hypotheses; communicate findings to others through oral and poster presentations; and build confidence in yourselves as scientific thinkers. To do so, you will use behavioral, genetic, and cell biological tools to assay how KIF1A mutations affect C. elegans neurons, and connect your findings to clinical severity. Recommended completing the following courses:
BIO 82 and 83 or
HUMBIO 2A and 3A and
CHEM 31A and 31B or
CHEM 31E.
