LMP408H1: Genetic Modeling of Human Development and Disease is being replaced and will no longer be offered. For 4th year students who wish to take this course, please register instead for LMP330H1: Genetic Modeling of Human Development and Disease. We will allow LMP330H1 to count towards the four 400-level LMP course requirement.
