Introduction to cellular and population-level systems biology with an emphasis on synthetic biology, modeling of genetic networks, cell-cell interactions, and evolutionary dynamics. Cellular systems include genetic switches and oscillators, network motifs, genetic network evolution, and cellular decision-making.

Cellular Metabolism and Cancer: Nature or Nurture? The Department of Biology offers undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral training programs ranging from general biology to more specialized fields of study and research.

The goal of this course is to teach both the fundamentals of nuclear cell biology as well as the methodological and experimental approaches upon which they are based. Lectures will cover the background and fundamental findings in a particular area of nuclear cell biology.

Professor Martin discusses the key features of cells, from the relatively simple organization of prokaryotic cells to the more complex organization of eukaryotic cells. He then covers cell compartments, transport, mitochondria, and the cytoskeleton. Instructor: Adam Martin. Freely sharing knowledge with learners and educators around the world.

The MIT Biology Department Introductory Biology courses 7.012, 7.013, 7.014, 7.015, and 7.016 all cover the same core material, which includes the fundamental principles of biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and cell biology. Biological function at the molecular level is particularly emphasized and covers the structure and regulation of ...
