Course description: This course is an introduction to the basic concepts of molecular cell
biology in eukaryotic system including experimental strategies and methodology. This course
will provide a foundation for engineering-major students who are interested in
cell-related workings, such as cellular engineering and tissue engineering. Lecture
topics will start from fundamentals of cellular components to cell cycle regulation, the
cytoskeleton and cell motility, cellular membrane systems, and the interaction of cells with
each other and the environment.
Required Text Book

Term Paper
This exercise is for you to gain experience in doing literature search on either a particular
disease. You can choose one of the four following topics to write about:
1. Juvenile, or type I, diabetes
2. Adult onset, or type II, diabetes
3. Cystic Fibrosis
4. Hepatocellular carcinoma
Credits will be given based upon:
1) answering the topic properly
2) citing 2 non-website references
You can use either English or Chinese to write the term paper. The term paper should be
between 2-3 pages long (no longer than 3 and no shorter than 2), using 12pt font and double
spaced lines. Please include the two references you choose to use at the end of the paper.
Guidelines for diabetes, cystic fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma:
These three topics are types of diseases that afflict millions of people. For the paper, make
sure to include what causes the problem, what can be done for people with this disease, and
what you have learned from the research you have done.

Make-Up Exam: If you miss an exam for medical reasons, you will need a description from a
doctor in order to take a make-up. Exams missed for personal reasons will be judged based
upon situations. Anyone unable to take an exam must make every effort to contact me before
the test through phone or e-mail to be considered for a make-up. Office hours: Wednesday,
2:00-3:30 PM (Chemical Eng. Building, Rm 508), and by e-mail appointment
