Course Description This course will emphasize recent advances in developmental biology made by molecular and genetic studies. The lectures will provide a conceptual framework of the principles of development, as well as the logic and methodology used to derive these principles. This lecture introduces the basic concepts in developmental biology. In various developmental processes, how the molecular and cellular mechanisms are employed and intergrated will be discussed, using well-studied examples. With a focus on several model organisms, the specific genetic tools will be also introduced. Finally, the recent advance in developmental biology and its future direction will be addressed.
