Course Description

Development is controlled by complex cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions and communications. The course examines the genes, molecular processes and physical mechanisms involved and how they act in concert to regulate distinct phases of development, as well as physiological processes of the mature animal. Emphasis is placed on primary research articles and how experimental strategies are used to answer questions about the molecular and cellular events that control cellular behaviours and tissue morphogenesis.
