Description:

This course travels through history, from the discovery of cells to the current age of genomics and proteomics, highlighting major discoveries while learning about diseases and disorders that have ravaged mankind. Pressure to search for the molecular basis of disease has taught us much of what we know about how "normal" cells work. We explore prevailing diseases and genetic disorders, as well as look at emerging health issues as they relate to environmental toxins and the industrialized fast-food diet. Topics include biochemistry, cell structure, cell interactions, physiology, genetics, anatomy, morphology, reproduction, and development. Students conduct original research in the lab. This is a spring semester introductory biology course. 3 class hours / 2 laboratory hours. 4 Credits.
