THIS DEPARTMENT ENFORCES UNDERGRADUATE PREREQUISITES. Please note that the registration system may not factor in transfer work when determining if prerequisites have been met. If you are unable to register for a course and think you have met the prerequisite(s), please contact an advisor from this department to inquire about obtaining a permission code. You may be administratively dropped from a course if the prerequisite has not been met.

ONCSC 6700 - 001 Cell Cycle Events: Mechanisms


This class will be held in HCI Research South-3C. Prerequisite: This course is designed for Molecular Biology and Biological Chemistry graduate students. Regulated cell division is critical to normal cell function, whether during development, regeneration, or in tissue maintenance. Dysregulation of the cell cycle is a major factor in many human diseases, most notably all types of cancers. This course will give students an in-depth view of the mechanisms of cell division and proliferative control. The course will be structured around classic and current literature reporting advances in the understanding of cell cycle events. Through discussion we’ll consider how these events are integrated, and how mechanistic knowledge impacts our understanding of and approach to human disease. This will often relate to implications for cancer (therapeutic sensitivity, tumorigenesis, etc.), but may extend to other diseases. This is an advanced seminar course with a focus on critical reading of the primary literature and student presentations.
