ONCSC 6700 - 001 Cell Cycle Events: Mechanisms


This course will be held on Thursdays, 10AM-12PM - Huntsman Cancer Institute Research South - 6th Floor Conference Room - Prerequisite: This course is designed for Molecular Biology and Biological Chemistry graduate students. Regulated cell division is critical to normal cell function, whether during development, regeneration, or in tissue maintenance. This course will give students an in-depth view of the mechanisms of cell division and proliferative control. The course will be structured around classic and current literature reporting advances in the understanding of cell cycle events. Through discussion we’ll consider how these events are integrated, and how mechanistic knowledge impacts our understanding of and approach to human disease. This will often relate to implications for cancer (therapeutic sensitivity, tumorigenesis, etc.), but may extend to other diseases. This is an advanced seminar course with a focus on critical reading of the primary literature and student presentations.
