Description: The union of sperm and egg is required for the propagation of all sexually reproducing species. The underlying molecular mechanisms of fertilization are also paradigms for other important cell-cell interactions during development. After successfully completing this course, students will have gained a broad perspective of the field of fertilization that will include a historical point of view as well as an understanding of the current challenges in reproductive biology.
