Fall 2026 · MBS 0200 · Tufts University · 1.5 credits · Undergraduate

Molecular biology is a broadly based discipline that unites the elements of microbiology (e.g., bacteriology, virology, mycology) with cell biology, biochemistry, biophysics, and genetics. This course describes the study of, and the search to understand, the regulation of gene expression in relation to the growth, metabolism, and development of bacteria, viruses, and other infectious agents. The overall course objectives are to 1) teach students to confront biological problems from within a certain framework, 2) encourage students to exercise their analytical and critical faculties to the utmost, and 3) arrive at solutions to the problems presented by applying their acquired knowledge.
