7.01SC Fundamentals of Biology (Fall 2011, MIT OCW). Instructors: Prof. Eric Lander, Prof. Graham Walker, Prof. Sallie Chisholm, et al. This consists of a series of video lectures given by Prof. Eric Lander, Prof. Robert Weinberg, Prof. Tyler Jacks, et al.. This course focuses on the basic principles of biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, and recombinant DNA. These principles are necessary to understanding the basic mechanisms of life and anchor the biological knowledge that is required to understand many of the challenges in everyday life, from human health and disease to loss of biodiversity and environmental quality.
