BIOL 4440 - Cell Biology of Lipids and Membranes


Effective Date 10/04/2016
Life requires lipids. Discussion of the literature will integrate lipids into our current protein-centric view of cell biology. Topics considered are current models of membrane structure and its effect on metabolism; synthesis and distribution of lipids to regulate cell communication, gene expression, and the coding of identity; how pathogens turn lipids against host cells; and how common pharmaceuticals affect lipid biology to treat disease.

Requisites Must have completed the following courses BIOL 3000 and 3030

Credits: 3
