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 ...
7.016 Introductory Biology, Fall 2014
(2014-12)
7.016 Introductory Biology provides an introduction to fundamental principles of biochemistry, molecular biology and genetics for understanding the functions of living systems. Taught for the first time in Fall 2013, this ...
7.342 Reading the Blueprint of Life: Transcription, Stem Cells and Differentiation, Fall 2006
(2006-12)
In this course, we will address how transcriptional regulators both prohibit and drive differentiation during the course of development. How does a stem cell know when to remain a stem cell and when to become a specific ...
7.343 When Development Goes Awry: How Cancer Co-opts Mechanisms of Embryogensis, Fall 2009
(2009-12)
During this course, we will study the similarities between cancer and normal development to understand how tumors co-opt normal developmental processes to facilitate cancer initiation, maintenance and progression. We will ...
