Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) Canada 2011
Introduction

26. - Biological and biomedical sciences

This series comprises instructional programs that focus on the biological sciences and the non-clinical biomedical sciences, and that prepare individuals for research and professional careers as biologists and biomedical scientists.

26.04 - Cell/cellular biology and anatomical sciences

This subseries comprises instructional program classes 26.0401 to 26.0499.

26.0401 - Cell/cellular biology and histology

This instructional program class comprises any program that focuses on the scientific study of the structure, function, and regulation of cells as individual units and as components of larger systems. These programs include courses in cell chemistry, cellular dynamics, cellular replication and reproduction, cell anatomy, membrane function, organelles, cell adhesion and extracellular matrices, cell dynamics and motility, meiosis and mitosis, signal transduction, regulation, recognition and defence mechanisms, the cell cycle, cell metabolism and respiration, gene expression, and studies of cell types and characteristics.
