BIOL-T 585: MODEL ORGANISMS IN RESEARCH (3 credits)

About

Students will be introduced to the evolutionary similarities that allow study of human disease in certain organisms and the differences that limit the conclusions that can be made from that research. Students will be introduced to the history of the use of these organisms and the characteristics that give these organisms the label or 'model' organism. Students will be asked to think critically and be able to evaluate primary sources of research.
