Developmental Biology

Genetic control and patterning of organisms. Cellular and molecular processes that govern the production of an embryo and the patterning of individual tissues and organs in a manner that is consistent with their physiological functionality. The effect of exogenous stimuli on body patterning in both physiological and pathophysiological situations will be addressed. Prerequisites: BI 216/BI 216L, and BI 307/BI 307L. Offered during the spring semester.
