BIO 210 - Human Biology:Concepts and Applications

Institution:

Bentley University

Subject:

Description:

Introduces students to the essential mechanisms of human biology and their applications. The course develops an innovative approach in which complex human systems are explored as a consequence of the expression of the genes comprising the human genome, the function of metabolic pathways, and the electrochemical properties of cells. Knowledge of these three basic mechanisms are used to understand scientific discoveries in the news, controversies in biomedicine, and the development of new biopharmaceutical products. The emphasis on this course is on the understanding the broad applicability of basic biological mechanisms to issues of personal, temporal, or business interest. Grading will be based on exams, laboratory reports, an oral presentation, and a final paper.
