BIOL 484 Stem Cells and Regeneration
The course will cover the biology of stem cells and their role in organ formation and regeneration. Topics include animal development, cellular reprogramming, tissue-specific stem cells, mechanisms of regeneration, and the most recent therapeutic applications of stem cells. Students will read and discuss primary research articles and write a novel research proposal. Students will therefore develop or refine skills in critically evaluating experimental design, data analysis and interpretation.
