For courses incell biology.

Connecting fundamentalconcepts across the world of the cellKnown for its strong biochemistry coverage and clear, easy-to-followexplanations and figures, Becker’s World of the Cell provides abeautifully illustrated, up-to-date introduction to cell biology concepts,processes, and applications. Informed by years of classroom experience in thecell biology course, the text features accessible and authoritativedescriptions of all major principles, as well as unique scientific insightsinto visualization and applications of cell and molecular biology. With the 10thEdition, the authors guide students to make connections throughout cell biologyand provide questions that encourage students to practice interpreting andanalyzing data. Embedded features in Pearson eText add interactivity, walkingstudents through key figures with narrated explanations.

JEFFHARDIN received his Ph.D. in Biophysics from the University ofCalifornia–Berkeley. He is the Raymond E. Keller Professor and Chair of theDepartment of Integrative Biology at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, wherehe has been since 1991. For 18 years he was Faculty Director of the BiologyCore Curriculum, a four-semester honors biology sequence for undergraduates atWisconsin known for its teaching innovations. Jeff ’s research focuses on howcells migrate and adhere to one another during early embryonic development.Jeff ’s teaching is enhanced by his extensive use of digital microscopy and hisweb-based teaching materials, which are used on many campuses in the UnitedStates and in other countries. Jeff was a founding member of the UW TeachingAcademy, and has received several teaching awards, including a Lily TeachingFellowship, a National Science Foundation Young Investigator Award, and aChancellor’s Distinguished Teaching Award.

JAMES P.LODOLCE earned his Ph.D. in Immunology from the University of Chicago in2002. His thesis examined the signals that promote the survival of memory lymphocytes.As a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Dr. David Boone, he studied thegenetics and regulation of inflammation in autoimmunity. Cell biology was thefirst class that James taught when he arrived at Loyola University Chicago in2010. He currently holds the title of Senior Lecturer and teaches a variety of coursesranging from molecular biology to virology. James is an active member of theDepartment of Biology and was appointed Co-Chairperson of Loyola’s 2021 Pre-HealthProfessions Advisory Committee. In his career at Loyola, James has receivedseveral teaching honors, including a nomination for the 2014 Ignatius LoyolaAward for Excellence in Teaching, the 2016 Master Teacher Award in the Collegeof Arts and Sciences, and the 2020 Edwin T. and Vivijeanne F. Sujack Award forTeaching Excellence.
