HUMBIO3A

Principles of the biology of cells and embryogenesis, emphasizing the development of humans and human tissues, the nature of membranes and organelles, signal transduction in healthy and diseased states (diabetes, cancer), stem cells and immunology. HUMBIO 3A and HUMBIO 3B are designed to be taken concurrently. Periodically there will be lectures that address related content in the two courses. Concurrent enrollment is strongly encouraged and is necessary for majors to meet recommended declaration deadlines. Human Biology majors are required to take the Human Biology Core Courses for a letter grade. Prerequisite: College chemistry (CHEM 31A+B, CHEM 31M or equivalent) or completion of the on-line chemistry video series designed specifically for the HUMBIO Core. More details, including the 15 videos (approximately 10 minutes each) with practice quizzes, will be available on the HUMBIO 2A and HUMBIO 3A Canvas sites.
