This minor focuses on understanding cells, the basic unit of life from bacteria and archaea to eukaryotes. Training in cell biology involves understanding how cells function: understanding structures, biochemical pathways and metabolism, signaling and development. Organismal responses to the environment, to pharmaceutical agents, to diseases, etc. all are cellular responses that manifest at the organismal level. Training provided by the cell biology minor will benefit students in a wide variety of majors including health sciences, engineering, and agriculture.
