MDCRC 6520 - Biochemistry for Clinical Investigators

This course utilizes clinical syndromes as the starting point for teaching exercises in biochemistry. Course material covers DNA synthesis and repair, lipid metabolism, cell cycle control, protein structure, biochemistry of diabetes and the interactions of biochemical pathways in complex organisms. The objective of the course is to prepare clinical investigators to be totally conversant with techniques of biochemistry, cell cycle control and protein structure that might relate directly to clinical research projects done by multidisciplinary groups.
