MCDB-3700 (3) Poisons in Cell Biology and Society

Investigate the inner workings of our cells by studying how poisons disrupt these processes. We will learn how selected poisons affect critical processes inside the cell to cause death or destruction. The scientific aspects of the poison will be discussed in the context of its historical significance or impact on society and popular culture. Prereqs., MCDB 1150 or EBIO 1210 and MCDB 2150.
