Stem Cell Course

CBIO-GS 8331
Current Topics in Stem Cell and Developmental Biology

This course, taught in both fall and spring semesters, meets once per week to hear a graduate student, postdoctoral fellow, or faculty member discuss a research paper from outside his or her own field of research, with substantial audience Q&A and discussion.

Students taking the course for credit must attend most of the semester’s presentations. After pairing with a faculty mentor, they together choose and prepare a topical paper that the trainee presents towards the end of the semester.

Students planning to register must contact and discuss plans with the director, Chris Wright (chris.wright@vanderbilt.edu), in the preceding semester.
