This course is open to all Ph.D., M.D./Ph.D., and M.S. students.
Students will gain a theoretical and practical understanding of how extracellular signals are transduced through receptors into metabolic events. It is designed for second year PhD students who have completed the Biomedical Sciences core curriculum. The format is one lecture followed by one research paper discussion for each topic.
Outcomes: Students will be able to interpret data and design experiments examining signal transduction pathways. Students will also gain in-depth knowledge of the signal transduction topics covered in the course.
