...sciences while setting the current biology concentration on the path to extinction.Students will no longer be able to concentrate in biology. Instead, they will choose among four new concentrations—organismic and evolutionary biology, human evolutionary biology, neurobiology, and chemical and physical biology—as well as molecular and cellular biology, a renamed version of the current biochemical sciences concentration.Current biology concentrators will be allowed to switch into one of the new concentrations if they can satisfy the requirements.In explaining the need for the changes, Professor of Biological Anthropology Daniel E. Lieberman ’86, speaking...
...Faculty also approved the restructuring of concentrations in the life sciences; the biology concentration will be eliminated, the biochemical sciences concentration will be renamed the concentration in molecular and cellular biology, and four new specialized concentrations will be created...
...that cell that is suddenly sparking the interest of cancer researchers and molecular biologists around the world. Known as a cancer stem cell, it could be the culprit behind a malignant tumor's nasty habit of recurring year after year and popping up in distant parts of the body long after the primary growth is gone. Studies of that cell are helping scientists unravel some of cancer's deepest secrets and leading doctors closer to the ultimate goal of any cancer therapy--a cure. Think of the stem cell as a tumor's master print; as long as the original...
...Kline wrote in an e-mail. Lackluster attendance is not uncommon in Harvard’s large lectures. Salvador A. Pelayo ’09 said that around half of the students in Life Sciences 1a, “An Integrated Introduction to the Life Sciences: Chemistry, Molecular Biology, and Cell Biology,” this semester attend the lectures. “Sometimes there are as many students as there are TFs sitting in lecture,” he said. Frieden said that the sophomore government tutorial would likely be different next year, especially if concentration choice is pushed...
...completely revising and reorganizing all the life sciences concentrations,” Lieberman said. Separate concentrations in Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, Human Evolutionary Biology, Neurobiology, and Chemical and Physical Biology may be created. The current Biochemical Sciences concentration would also be renamed “Molecular and Cellular Biology.” “Concentrations that are currently available don’t really fit the needs of students,” Lieberman said. If approved by the full Faculty, the cluster of new concentrations would mark the first time a concentration has been created since 1992, when...
