First Year

Cellular and Genetic Mechanisms

MDC 6020

Course Overview

The cell is the basic unit of life. All functions of the human body are carried out by cells and their products, and all disease ultimately stems from alterations of normal cell structure and function. The Cellular and Genetic Mechanisms course is designed to provide students with an understanding of the structure and biology of cells, as a foundation for study of physiology, pathology, and medicine. Cells, and organisms formed from them, are what they are because of the expression of an endogenous genetic program. The course also covers molecular, cellular, and clinical aspects of genetics.
