TEACHING............................................................................................................................................................ 03-240: Introductory Cell Biology, Spring 2005This is a sophamore/junor undergraduate--level course in cell biology. Topics covered in this course include organelle biogenesis and protein localization, cell structure and motility, cell cycle control and mechanics, and cell signaling pathways. Emphasis is on critical understanding of the the experimental foundations of cell biology and problem solving. 03-741: Advanced Cell Biology, Spring 2004This is a senior undergraduate- and graduate-level seminar course in cell biology co-taught with Dr. Adam Linstedt. Topics covered in this course previous years have included pathways of receptor-mediated endocytosis, stimulus-response coupling in mammalian cell systems (with emphasis on mechanism of growth factor action), and Golgi body structure and function. Emphasis is on critical reading of research papers and classroom discussion. 03-F2F: Foundations to Frontiers in Molecular Cell Biology, Spring 2004In keeping with the interdisciplinary culture of Carnegie
Mellon, I offer a class for non-biology faculty, staff, graduate
student and postdocs from across the entire university.
The
goal of this class is to introduce both the foundations in molecular
cell biology and current research areas and technological challenges.
Understanding how cells function normally and what goes wrong in
disease is an enormous task that will require the coming together of
many disciplines. It is
hoped that this class will serve as a jumping-off point for
non-biologists to begin exploring the world of molecular cell biology. |
