Cell Biology & Genetics of Aging (MCB 3985; Fall). This literature-based graduate-style class teaches students about the hallmarks of aging, crosstalk among such biological mechanisms, core geroscience concepts, and modern research techniques.
Students should have completed Cell Biology (MCB 2210 or 2215) or Genetics (MCB 2400 or 2410) prior to requesting a permission number from Dr. Campellone.
Students are encouraged to enroll in the course in their sophomore or junior years, but may also enroll as seniors.
