A study of the structure & processes of living cells, including prokaryotes (archaea, eubacteria) and emphasizing eukaryotes (plants, animals, fungi, etc.). Area of focus include cell anatomy, structure and function of biological macromolecules, processes of the gene (replication, transcription, translation), endomembrane trafficking, cytoskeletal structure and function, regulation and mechanics of cell division, and cell signaling.

Students with senior standing (or others with consent of the instructor) report on and discuss current biological problems as presented in principle journals, abstracts and reviews. The work of each seminar is usually built upon a single unifying content area.

One to four hours in varied formats Selected topics in Biology. In recent years these have included physiology and biochemistry of marine animals, evolutionary ecology, biology of marine mammals, morphometrics and phylogenetic systematics, and extremophiles.
