(PBS)
Spring. 3 credits. S-U grades by permission of instructor.

Prerequisite: BIOMG 4320  or BIOMG 3850  or permission of instructor.

T. Tumbar.

This course will cover basic aspects of tissue morphogenesis and homeostasis with emphasis on the biological role of embryonic and adult stem cells in development, and their possible clinical applications. The focus will be placed on mouse and human stem cells. The discussion will be structured around relevant research papers that allow more in-depth analysis of the material taught during lectures.

Outcome 1: Comprehend how a leading edge medical research field has developed over the past couple decades.

Outcome 2: Realize the implication of research data for translational science and bringing a field from bench to bed site.

Outcome 3: Become comfortable in reading, understanding, critically assessing, presenting, and defending primary literature.

Outcome 4: Become comfortable in presenting complex science data in a formal setting and test strategies for stimulating group discussion.

Outcome 5: Examine implications of the field in the realm of science ethics and evaluate the possible impact of the field on the society as a whole.
