OverviewFor courses in cell biology Connecting fundamental concepts across the world of the cell Known for its strong biochemistry coverage and clear, easy-to-follow explanations and figures, Becker's World of the Cell provides a beautifully illustrated, up-to-date introduction to cell biology concepts, processes, and applications. Informed by years of classroom experience in the cell biology course, the text features accessible and authoritative descriptions of all major principles, as well as unique scientific insights into visualisation and applications of cell and molecular biology. With the 10th Edition, the authors guide students to make connections throughout cell biology, and provide questions that encourage students to practice interpreting and analysing data.

Cancer CellsAppendix: Visualizing Cells and MoleculesReviewsAuthor InformationJEFF HARDIN received his Ph.D. in Biophysics from the University of California-Berkeley. He is the Raymond E. Keller Professor and Chair of the Department of Integrative Biology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he has been since 1991. For 18 years he was Faculty Director of the Biology Core Curriculum, a four-semester honors biology sequence for undergraduates at Wisconsin known for its teaching innovations. Jeff's research focuses on how cells migrate and adhere to one another during early embryonic development. Jeff's teaching is enhanced by his extensive use of digital microscopy and his web-based teaching materials, which are used on many campuses in the United States and in other countries. Jeff was a founding member of the UW Teaching Academy, and has received several teaching awards, including a Lily Teaching Fellowship, a National Science Foundation Young Investigator Award, and a Chancellor's Distinguished Teaching Award. JAMES P. LODOLCE earned his Ph.D. in Immunology from the University of Chicago in 2002. His thesis examined the signals that promote the survival of memory lymphocytes. As a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Dr. David Boone, he studied the genetics and regulation of inflammation in autoimmunity. Cell biology was the first class that James taught when he arrived at Loyola University Chicago in 2010. He currently holds the title of Senior Lecturer and teaches a variety of courses ranging from molecular biology to virology. James is an active member of the Department of Biology and was appointed Co-Chairperson of Loyola's 2021 Pre-Health Professions Advisory Committee. In his career at Loyola, James has received several teaching honors, including a nomination for the 2014 Ignatius Loyola Award for Excellence in Teaching, the 2016 Master Teacher Award in the College of Arts and Sciences, and the 2020 Edwin T. and Vivijeanne F. Sujack Award for Teaching Excellence. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
