Animal Molecular and Cellular Biology represent whatever grows when a tissue or an embryo is placed in culture. The cell type that usually predominates in such cultures is called a fibroblast because it secretes the types of proteins associated with fibroblasts in fibrous connective tissue of animals. The course covers the fields of animal science, veterinary medicine, wildlife biology, zoology, and biotechnology. Education is achieved by providing extensive training in molecular and cell biology in topic areas described briefly under each faculty member's research description.
