MMG409: Eukaryotic Cell Biology

Welcome to MMG409: Eukaryotic Cell Biology!

The syllabus for the entire class can be found here.

In this section, you will learn the fundamentals of stem cell biology, cancer biology, innate immunity, and host-pathogen interactions, specifically those of HIV and SARS-CoV2.

Below you will find for each of these topics overviews, additional materials, useful links, and study guides.

If you have not read it yet, I highly recommend Dr. Barbara Oakley’s book “A Mind for Numbers” (available from the MSU Library as a free ebook).
