    BIOC19H3 ANIMAL DEVELOPMENTAL BIOLOGY


    Course Instructor: Vania Branker
    E-mail: vania.branker@utoronto.ca
    COURSE DESCRIPTION:
    This course investigates the development of several model systems such as
    erythropoiesis, lens development in the eye, spermatogenesis and myogenesis.
    There will be discussions of both the cellular and molecular events in early
    embryonic life, with particular emphasis on the concept that the regulation of
    gene expression is fundamental to development.
    LECTURES:
    This course is a LECTURE COURSE. There is no laboratory component.
    Lectures are held on Thursdays, 1-3pm in S-309.
    Attendance is highly recommended since you are responsible for everything
    that is covered in the lecture. You are expected to supplement the posted
    lecture notes (which are posted prior to each lecture) with any details and
    possible changes given during the lecture.
    PREQUISITES:
    Must have 1 full course equivalent from BIOB10H AND BIOB11H, OR BIOB10Y
    OFFICE HOURS:
    I am on campus on Thursdays ONLY. If you have any questions regarding the
    course, I am best reached via e-mail. Please use your UTSC account.
    I will be available for office hours on Thursdays from 3:30 5:00pm in SW540B.
    Should you be unable to meet during those hours, please e-mail me so that we
    can set up an appointment.

    There is no required textbook for this course. You will be tested on all of the
    material presented in the lectures ONLY.
    There is a suggested REFERENCE book on short term loan in the UTSC library
    (2 hour). I will sometimes refer to diagrams from this text.
