Course Information
Description
What is metabolism and how does it affect our lives? This course investigates human metabolism through several levels of organization and uses evolutionary theory to explore the unique metabolism of our species. We will establish the foundations of molecular and cellular metabolism, integrate that knowledge into an organismic model, and tie in ecology and the evolution of metabolism within primates and the human lineage. Throughout the course we will make connections to metabolic dysfunction and disease, and their rising salience in modern health.
