What Kind of Biology Study Did You Have in Higher Education?
kyro: I just graduated with a BSc. in Biology from the University of California, Irvine. The plan was to go on as a physician, and thus, to fulfill med school requirements, I took 3 years of biology courses. Dna to Organisms, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Cellular Biology, Cellular Neurobiology, Language and the Brain, Neurology lab, Immunology, Human Physiology, and Evolutionary Biology, in no particular order.By far, though, the best biology course I took was a graduate course called Systems Cell Biology, where we used Mathematica to create mathematical models of receptor responses and secondary messenger systems. Reason I loved it so much was, considering my lack of cs background, because it was the only class where I witnessed and experienced the the intersection of cs/mathematics and biology. The text we used in the class is called 'The Cell' by Alberts, and James Watson. I asked the professor of the class about further reading, and he suggested "2 texts: (1) An Introduction to
Systems Biology: Design Principles of Biological Circuits (Alon, U.), and (2) Physical Biology of the Cell (Rob Phillips et al.)."Hope that helped. You can email me for more info, email is in my profile.
