What is your favorite class?
My favorite class at Berkeley so far has been MCB 132: The Biology of Human Cancer, taught by Profesors Bilder, Luo and He. MCB 132 provides a general overview of the molecular basis of cancer, and I found the class to be incredibly comprehensive and useful. I've always been interested in cancer research, and 132 helped demystify what to many people is an unknown disease and made it relatable to ongoing research and the development of new pharmaceutical therapies. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and interesting elective to take!
