分子生命科学学士（MLS）专为有兴趣攻读生命科学学位课程的学生而设计，该课程高度关注细胞和分子机制。攻读发育生物学和细胞生物学的学生探索细胞生物学，发育生物学，遗传学和分子生物学方面的主题。课程顺序提供了这些学科中的每门入门课程和高级课程。学生将学习单个细胞的功能，与邻居的相互作用以及单个细胞如何生长和发育为功能完善的成年动物。
Our Developmental and Cellular Biology concentration is designed for students who are interested in exciting topics in cell biology, developmental biology, genetics, and molecular biology. The course sequence offers both introductory and advanced level courses in each of these disciplines. You will learn how individual cells function, how they interact with their neighbors, and how a single cell grows and develops into a fully functional adult. Our course instructors conduct cutting-edge research in these fields and bring a modern perspective of these topics into the classroom. In this concentration, you will be exposed to breakthrough advances that have been made using a variety of experimental systems including bacteria, yeast, nematodes, fruit flies, frogs, mice, and plants (just to name a few). Basic principles of cell and developmental biology that have been uncovered with these model systems are coupled with an understanding of how deviations in normal function lead to human disease. Molecular mechanisms of human disorders and diseases will be an important element of the Developmental and Cellular Biology concertation.
