This course uses the primary literature to develop a systems level understanding of the information flow through the various cell signaling pathways and networks. The experimental and theoretical information that led to the current concepts in cell signaling research are highlighted. Each lecture is 2hrs. After each set of lectures there is a two hrs discussion period where students in consultation with the lecturer select a recent primary publication and present an in-depth analysis with class participation.
