Graduate Study. The Graduate Group in Cell<br />

and Developmental Biology offers programs of study<br />

leading to the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. Cell and<br />

Developmental Biology is a broad interdepartmental<br />

program. The curriculum consists of core courses in<br />

cell biology or developmental biology as well as<br />

courses jointly staffed with other graduate programs.<br />

Specific programs of study are decided upon by an<br />

advisory committee chaired by the student’s research<br />

adviser, and the choice of major core courses will<br />

reflect the student’s primary research interest.<br />

Preparation. Appropriate preparation is an undergraduate<br />

degree in a biological or physical science.<br />

Preparation should include a year of calculus, physics,<br />

general chemistry and organic chemistry, and<br />

introductory courses in statistics, biochemistry, genetics<br />

and cell biology.<br />

Graduate Advisers. F. McNally, E. Diaz, R.<br />

Tucker<br />

Courses in Cell and Developmental<br />

Lecture—2 hours. Prerequisite: graduate standing;<br />

Biological Sciences 104 and Molecular and Cellular<br />

Biology 141 or the equivalent courses. Current techniques<br />

used in cell biology research including<br />

microscopy, spectroscopy, electrophysiology, immunochemistry,<br />

histology, organelle isolation, calorimetry,<br />

tissue culture and gel electrophoresis. Lectures<br />

are presented by experts on each technique, with an<br />

emphasis on pitfalls to avoid when using the technique.<br />
