It's Paris, It's Mecca, It's a Dream. Former students wax
poetic when they reflect on their MBL days. |

The MBL offers advanced, graduate-level courses in
embryology, physiology, neurobiology, microbiology, reproduction, and
parasitology for six to eight weeks each summer.
2011 Summer Courses
Biology of Parasitism: Modern
Approaches
Directors: Daniel Goldberg and Boris
Striepen
A unique course for advanced graduate students, postdocs, and
independent investigators, who are seeking thorough training in modern
approaches to the study of protozoan and helminthic parasites.
Embryology: Concepts
& Techniques in Modern Developmental Biology
Directors: Lee Niswander, and Nipam H. Patel
An
intensive six-week laboratory and lecture course for advanced graduate
students, postdoctoral fellows, and more senior researchers who seek a
broad and balanced view of the modern issues of developmental biology.
Frontiers in Reproduction
Lead
Director:
Mario Ascoli
Section Directors: Leslie
Heckert, Harvey Florman, and Ann Sutherland
An
intensive six-week course consisting of lectures and laboratories. This
course is designed for advanced postdoctoral fellows, newly independent
scientists and physicians, or senior graduate students who are seeking
training in state-of-the-art research strategies and methods needed to
pursue studies on reproduction.
Microbial Diversity
Directors:
Daniel Buckley, and Stephen Zinder
An intensive 6.5 week course for graduate or postdoctoral students, as
well as established investigators, who want to become competent in
microbiological techniques for working with a broad range of microbes,
and in approaches for recognizing the metabolic, phylogenetic, and
genomic diversity of cultivated and as yet uncultivated bacteria.
Neural Systems &
Behavior
Directors:
Paul Katz,
and
James Knierim
An intensive eight-week laboratory and lecture
course
focusing on the neural basis of behavior, including the cellular and
synaptic
levels, sensory and motor systems, neurogenetics, and the analysis of
complex
systems. Intended for graduate students, postdoctoral students, and
independent
investigators who wish to gain a broad perspective on neural systems
and how
they produce behavior.
Neurobiology
Directors: Graeme
Davis, and Yishi
Jin
An intensive and comprehensive laboratory-oriented course in cellular
and molecular neurobiology intended primarily for advanced doctoral or
postdoctoral students and for clinical scientists who have completed
their residency training and are beginning independent research
careers. Established investigators interested in acquiring expertise in
areas of neurobiology beyond their own research specialty will also be
considered.
Physiology: Modern Cell
Biology Using Microscopic, Biochemical and Computational Approaches
Directors:
Dyche
Mullins, and Clare Waterman
An intensive laboratory course that provides a unique interdisciplinary
training environment at the interface between cellular and
computational biology. Students with backgrounds in both the biological
and physical/computational sciences are encouraged to apply.
Special Topics Courses
These intensive educational programs, one to four weeks long, provide
experience in specialized research techniques. Lecture and laboratory
courses in topics of current interest are also available.
