Description: How does a single cell, the fertilized egg, give rise to a complex organism that contains many different cell types, tissues, and organs? How do the organs develop to the right size in the right place to give rise to a functional animal? Developmental biology seeks to answer these questions by studying cellular behavior and molecular pathways that control patterning in the developing embryo. You study different model organisms in this course, with an emphasis on vertebrates, and cover the most recent advances and techniques in developmental biology.
