In Segment B, the focus is on biological processes at the cellular level. Information regarding cell to cell interactions, intracellular control mechanisms, and cellular organelles will be covered. The function and control of enzymes will also be discussed, including in depth analysis of specific biological pathways such as glycolysis, electron transport, oxidative phosphorylation and carbohydrate metabolism. An overview of how these processes are important in developmental pathways is also provided.

One of the unique features of Segment B are the conferences. Small groups of students will meet together with a facilitator to discuss important aspects of molecular, cellular, and genetic issues for a group of selected diseases. By investigating the molecular foundations of these disorders, it is hoped the students will gain a better appreciation of the diversity and intricacy of clinical problems and medical practice.
