BIOL 604 - Advanced Developmental Physiology

Units: 3

An in-depth analysis of developmental physiology concepts, including how animal function develops, the influence of the environment on development, and developmental origins of disease. Covers the basics of developmental biology, the link between development, physiology and evolution, the interaction between the environment and physiology during development, phenotypic plasticity, and the development of physiological systems. Readings from the primary literature will deepen appreciation for how developmental physiology can inform many biological fields. BIOL 604 is dual-listed with BIOL 404A . These courses will be taught together by the same instructor.
May not be taken for credit by students who received credit for: BIOL 404A . Enrollment Restrictions: Enrollment restricted to students in the Biological Sciences graduate program.
