About this Unit

In this unit, students will receive a comprehensive introduction to cell biology and build upon fundamental concepts presented in earlier units. Foundations of Cell Biology focuses on how cells regulate their activities to respond to the external environment. Core concepts explored in this unit include membrane transport, protein sorting and maturation, protein degradation, vesicle trafficking and fundamental concepts of cell signalling. The laboratories reinforce lecture concepts and enable students to develop biological laboratory skills
