Mechanisms of Signal Transduction

26 MG 711
3 graduate credits

Course Director: Dr. William Miller

This graduate level course provides a research literature-based view of modern aspects of signal transduction and includes student driven discussions of seminal papers in the signal transduction field. Topics include receptor mediated signal transduction originating at the plasma membrane and covers major effector pathways including those leading to second messenger generation, kinase cascade assembly, and activation of transcription factors. Signaling mechanisms related to cellular homeostasis, developmental biology, immunology, and cancer will also be discussed.
