Cell

This course will introduce the student to contemporary Systems Biology focused on mammalian cells, their constituents and their functions. Biology is moving from molecular to modular. As our knowledge of our genome and gene expression deepens and we develop lists of molecules (proteins, lipids, ions) involved in cellular processes, [...]

Learn about the technologies underlying experimentation used in systems biology, with particular focus on RNA sequencing, mass spec-based proteomics, flow/mass cytometry and live-cell imaging. A key driver of the systems biology field is the technology allowing us to delve deeper and wider into how cells respond to experimental perturbations. [...]

Comment cultiver des cellules humaines ? Comment les reprogrammer en cellules souches ? A la suite des travaux du prix Nobel Shinya Yamanaka, découvrez les principales étapes de la reprogrammation des cellules humaines en cellules souches, et abordons ensemble les connaissances de base de la biologie cellulaire, ses méthodes [...]

Learn how our immune system fights viral disease and make better vaccination decisions with a clearer understanding of Cells, Viruses, and Immunity. Have you ever wondered what viruses actually are? Have you been curious about the ways they invade our bodies, attack our cells and make us sick? [...]

With content based on Next Generation Science Standards, this course explores the properties of life through the cell.

The cell is the fundamental unit of life; in fact, the smallest living organisms are composed of a single cell. We have learned that, despite their small size, cells are far from simple, and we have only recently begun to understand just how complex they are. This course will [...]
