Course Description

The goal of "Research Topics in Biochemistry" is to expose you to a wide variety of cutting-edge research projects.   The course will begin with a three-lecture introduction covering how to read scientific papers and the basic concepts of experimental design and analysis.   Faculty from the BMBB Department will then give a series of presentations on cutting edge research.   Each faculty member will give two presentations.   The first will be a broad overview of a research area and the second will focus on a specific paper, dissecting all or part of it in detail.
