200222220 MOLECULAR BIOLOGY ( 2 Crd.Hrs )

"The course includes lectures and group discussions. This course is based upon the collaborative student learning model and will therefore endorse active student participation. Molecular Biology is an extensive and diverse field of endeavor. This course will focus on how intricate biological systems work; from the coding potential of DNA through to the regulated activity of proteins and large protein complexes. Through many years of refining scientific ingenuity and skill, present-day molecular biologists now have at their disposal an extensive molecular toolbox capable of tackling and answering most biological problems. With this as a backdrop, this course will primarily use cutting-edge original knowledge and research literature from the Molecular Biology field to promote student deep understanding of the basic concepts and experimental research process in molecular biology. Students will also gain an appreciation for past scientific achievements and how they have helped pave the way for present-day scientific discoveries and medication development. "
