Students will gain a solid understanding of the concepts in biology listed above and will learn to solve problems relating to those concepts.  

I have a B.S. in Chemistry from MIT and a M.S. in Chemistry from the University of California at Berkeley.  At MIT I took a significant number of courses in the field of biology and I took courses in biology at the graduate level at UC Berkeley.  At both MIT and UC Berkeley, my research centered on biology.  I have taught biology at the college level, and I have tutored students in biology at both the college level and the high school level.
