Molecular Physiology
Also known as: Molecular Biosciences, Cellular and Molecular Physiology
A program that focuses on the scientific study of dynamic interactive processes and biochemical communications at the subcellular level. Includes instruction in ion channels and transporters, molecular signaling pathways, endocrine control and regulation, genetic information transfer, homeostasis a
You start your week with an "Intro to Cellular Biochemistry" lecture, dense with enzyme kinetics and metabolic pathways. Later, in General Chemistry lab, you carefully perform a titration, but a small miscalculation means you redo a part. You grab lunch with friends, discussing weekend plans before heading to an afternoon study session for tomorrow's Molecular Signaling pre-reading.
