Course Description
Gastrulation in different animals, including invertebrates and vertebrates, is used to illustrate biological processes and to discuss basic concepts in animal development. This course will explore cell behaviours that occur during gastrulation, such as invagination, intercalation, migration, spreading and tissue rearrangement.
Evaluation (subject to change)
- 20% seminar 1 (presentation per student)
- 20% seminar 2 (presentation per student)
- 40% final presentation (group project but marked individually)
- 20% participation in discussion
Pre-requisites
Some background in developmental biology as well as a strong interest in the topic.
