This course will expose graduate students in the department to cutting edge research
topics in the field of cellular biology.
There will be two student-led lectures and discussions each month on a current and/or
fundamental topic in cellular biology including a background discussion on the topic,
a discussion of the major research finding and a discussion of the main conclusions
of the paper. This course will help students develop their skills in reading research
literature critically and preparing a comprehensive discussion of the paper to their
colleagues.
