Developmental Biology
How is complexity is generated from a single cell? In this course, we introduce core concepts of Developmental Biology. The aim is to understand developmental strategies that nature uses to generate pattern and complexity. Why is development robust, and what happens when it isn’t? How does development generate "endless forms, more wonderful”.
