Cancer and Embryonic Development meets every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 2:30 to 3:30 pm in 3131 MRBIII.   We will have three graduate trainees and one postdoctoral fellow serving as teaching assistants and with their help will provide students with highly interactive, student-teacher environment.  This year, the course will be divided into 4 modules:

Structure, Movement and Specification
Embryonal tumors and organogenesis
Cell interactions
Regulatory Pathways
