This course is the first semester of a two-semester course that incorporates a multi-disciplinary approach to investigate fundamental biomedical concepts. The objective of the course is to promote student learning of the biochemical, molecular, and cellular mechanisms underlying normal physiology and metabolism, thus providing a foundation for understanding disease processes. The course provides a foundation in cellular and molecular biology, including cell structure, cellular macromolecules, DNA and RNA structure and function, protein synthesis, genetics and regulation of gene expression, flow of genetic information, energetics, metabolism, and the regulation of selected cell activities.
