Where BIOL-4502 counts
Counts toward 6 more as one option among several, not as a course you must take:
Read from the departments' own calendar pages, where 50 of 208 programs are only partly machine-readable, so treat these as a minimum rather than the full list. Confirm with an academic advisor.
Description
Topics to be covered will include the following: cell signalling; the cytoskeleton; extracellular matrices and cell adhesion; the cell division cycle; apoptosis and cell death; the immune system and the genetic basis of cancer. Instruction will involve lectures and discussion; students will be required to write a paper and present a seminar based on a review of the primary research literature.
Requisite courses
BIOL-2301 and BIOL-3221 and CHEM-3502 and CHEM-3503 [prerequisite(s)]; BIOL-3303 (or the former BIOL-3302 or BIOL-4302) (must be taken previously or at the same time as this course).
From the 2026-27 undergraduate calendar. Always verify details on WebAdvisor or with an academic advisor before registering.
