Description:
Examines stress sensing and response pathways at the DNA, RNA, and protein levels, covering transcriptional regulation, RNA processing, and protein quality control. Also discusses Organelle-specific stress responses at the level of the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria are also discussed. Disseminates course material through formal lectures and discussions of literature. Local JHU scientists highlight each topic by presenting ongoing laboratory research, a “meet the expert” opportunity.
