7.012 Introduction to Biology, Fall 2001
(2001-12)
Cell biology, immunology, neurobiology, and an exploration into current research in cancer, genomics, and molecular medicine.
7.341 DNA Damage Checkpoints: The Emergency Brake on the Road to Cancer, Fall 2007
(2007-12)
The DNA contained in human cells is under constant attack by both exogenous and endogenous agents that can damage one of its three billion base pairs. To cope with this permanent exposure to DNA-damaging agents, such as ...
7.341 The DNA Damage Response as a Target for Anti-Cancer Therapy, Fall 2008
(2008-12)
Cellular responses to DNA damage constitute one of the most important fields in cancer biology. In this class we will analyze classical and recent papers from the primary research literature to gain a profound understand ...

7.344 Directed Evolution: Engineering Biocatalysts, Spring 2008
(2008-06)
Directed evolution has been used to produce enzymes with many unique properties. The technique of directed evolution comprises two essential steps: mutagenesis of the gene encoding the enzyme to produce a library of variants, ...
7.344 The Fountain of Life: From Dolly to Customized Embryonic Stem Cells, Fall 2007
(2007-12)
During development, the genetic content of each cell remains, with a few exceptions, identical to that of the zygote. Most differentiated cells therefore retain all of the genetic information necessary to generate an entire ...
