CHEM 543 - Cytoskeleton in Health and Disease

(3 units)

Prerequisite(s): CHEM 541 with a grade of “C” or better.
This course focuses on the components of cell cytoskeleton and molecular-level insights on its regulation. Topics such as cytoskeletal architecture, regulatory factors, and role of cytoskeleton in key cellular processes will be covered. This course also covers experimental methods to study actin cytoskeleton including fluorescence microscopy. The course includes lectures, group discussions, and a microscopy data analysis module.

Letter grade only (A-F). Not repeatable for credit.
