 Course Title: BIOL 495/595 -A1: Glycobiology

INSTRUCTOR: Dr. Lisa Willis

DESCRIPTION: Glycobiology is the field of science that studies carbohydrates (aka glycans) that are found in all living systems. This is a discussion-based course in which students will learn how to give a good presentation, how to provide critical feedback, and how to write for a general audience. We will focus on the role of glyans in a wide range of biological systems, depending on the students’ interests. Examples include evolutionary biology, breast milk, the microbiome, climate change, cancer, allergies, xenotransplantation, and environmental remediation.

Enrolment in this course is limited. Please contact the instructor at lisa.willis@ualberta.ca with any questions.
