This central IGERT course will emphasize current quantitative advances in cell biology and cover topics such as the structure and dynamics of cell membranes, the dynamics of the cytoskeleton and molecular motors, DNA replication and repair, genome packing, gene regulation, and signaling pathways. The course will give biology and bioengineering students a more quantitative background for describing biological processes and give physics and chemistry students a strong introduction to biomolecules and cellular processes. The course will be offered every year in the Fall semester. It will typically be taken by IGERT students in their first semester of graduate studies. For additional information, click here.

Students can register for the Fall 2012 Physical Cell Biology course on MySlice. The course will be held in 414 Bowne Hall on Mondays & Wednesdays from 2:15pm to 3:35pm.
