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 />

Courses in Cell and Developmental<br />
Biology (CDB)<br />
Graduate Courses<br />
200. Current Techniques in Cell Biology (2)<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 />
