Molecular Cell Biology
I have taught two sections of the Molecular Cell Biology (BIOL310). The sections met on MWF for 50 minute lectures.
We used​ Lodish et al 2021, 9th edition as our text book.
​
This was an intense class but we are tried to use small group games and in class activities to make learning easier. Check out the "Photos and Fun" tab to see how it looks :)

Cell Biology Labs
I really enjoyed teaching the BIOL 404 Cell Biology labs. This was an advanced level lab course, introducing commonly used Molecular Biology methods. The initial part focused on DNA related experiments, the later part focused on proteins and we used the pGLO-GFP system as a model.
Diseases and Cures of 2020s
I also taught the COLL 400: BIOL 460 course: Diseases and Cures of the 2020s.

This was a friendly journal club type discussion course. We had each student present a topic of their choice, among a list of possible topics. Each student led a journal club discussion in one class and also provided a summary of relevant scientific literature in another class.
​​
Since this was a COLL 400 class, there was also a writing requirement which was the natural outcome of our semester long research efforts in trying to understand a disease or cure. The goal was to gain experience in reading, synthesizing and expressing our understanding of complex biomedical literature.

We enjoyed sharing our knowledge and experiences related to the subjects in the course 🤗
