This first semester of an integrated two semester course focuses upon central concepts in cell biology, biological chemistry, genetics, and development. The relevance of these concepts to specialized cell function is presented with emphasis on the roles of gene expression and signal transduction in the physiology of mammalian systems, particularly the immune, reproductive, endocrine, and nervous systems. This course is a requirement for Introductory Biology II which is offered in the Spring term. Introductory Biology I and II are prerequisites for all higher level biology courses. Three 70 minute lectures, one three-hour laboratory, and a weekly recitation (optional).

The second semester of Introductory Biology emphasizes evolution, the diversity of life on Earth, and ecology. In the course, you will become acquainted with the process of evolution through natural selection, the astonishing diversity of living organisms that has evolved through this process, and the complex ecological interactions that occur among species. Laboratory experiments, demonstrations, on-line exercises, and field studies complement the lectures. Three 70 minute lectures, one three-hour laboratory, and a weekly recitation (optional).
