Are you curious about emerging medical advances and those just on the horizon? Following a brief biology introduction, this class examines the cutting-edge science of such topics as stem cells, cloning, assisted reproduction, new vaccine development, gene therapy, and other emerging medical topics. The course will also explore the scientific limits and societal implications of these advances. A hands-on laboratory accompanies this class and students draw on their talents, backgrounds and majors to create a final project.
