Course Information
Description
Molecular Biology for Epidemiologists, taught by Dr. Immaculata De Vivo, offers an overview of fundamental molecular biology concepts and techniques commonly used in the laboratory and in epidemiological research. During the term, we will cover a broad range of topics including, but not limited to, the mechanisms and regulatory processes involved in different steps of the central dogma of molecular biology, how cellular mechanisms go awry and how these cells can be repaired, Mendelian and non-Mendelian genetics, meiosis, mitosis, and both novel and classical molecular biology tools. This course will be of most interest to those who have not taken a recent college-level course in molecular biology, or equivalent.
