Description: &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Cell Biology, Genetics, and Biochemistry for Pre-Clinical Students&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, is an undergraduate medical-level resource for foundational knowledge across the disciplines of genetics, cell biology and biochemistry. This text is designed for a course in first year undergraduate medical course that is delivered typically before students start to explore systems physiology and pathophysiology. The text is meant to provide the essential information from these content areas in a concise format that would allow learner preparation to engage in an active classroom. Clinical correlates and additional application of content is intended to be provided in the classroom experience. The text assumes that the students will have completed medical school prerequisites (including the MCAT) in which they will have been introduced to the most fundamental concepts of biology and chemistry that are essential to understand the content presented here. This resource should be assistive to the learner later in medical school and for exam preparation given the material is presented in a succinct manner, with a focus on high-yield concepts.&lt;p&gt;Additional versions of this book are freely available at: &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="https://doi.org/10.21061/cellbio"&gt;https://doi.org/10.21061/cellbio&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="https://med.libretexts.org/@go/page/37584"&gt;https://med.libretexts.org/@go/page/37584&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Instructors reviewing, adopting, or adapting parts or the whole of the text are requested to register their interest at: &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="https://bit.ly/interest-preclinical"&gt;https://bit.ly/interest-preclinical&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.
