Through interactive lectures, individual and group activities, and readings, this course will help students understand how a fertilized egg develops into a multi-cellular animal and how diversity in form develops during evolution. The course will focus on the following topics: Embryogenesis; Morphogenesis and Body Patterning; Limb Development and Regeneration; and Evolution and Development. Consequences of genetic and environmental perturbations on development in human disorders and model systems will also be covered. This course will be offered in 2023-24, and in alternating years thereafter.
