Developmental Biology

AY2018/2019 Semester 1

This course aims to introduce early embryonic development of different model organisms. You will gain an insight into animals (primarily those with well-characterized genetics) which are used in biological research and from which important contributions to understanding fundamental processes in cells have been made. Completion of this course should give you a good understanding of developmental biology and provide a basis for more advanced courses. You will become familiar with the experimental strategies and tools used by developmental biologists.
