3 Credit hours
Spring Semester -- (Indianapolis campus)

Instructor(s):
	S. Lim

Prerequisite(s):
Histology, D851 or Molecular and Cellular Physiology, F705 or Eukaryotic Cell
 Biology, B817 or consent of instructors.

Description:
The overall objective of this graduate course in Cell Biology is to present in
 an experimental context, information integrating cell structure with cell function.
  The focus is on topics in which new information on cell structure has enhanced
or re-formulated our understanding of cell function.
