Institution:

Boston University

Subject:

Description:

CAS PY 211, CAS PY 212, CAS CH 101, CAS CH 102 (or CAS CH 131), ENG EK 127; ENG BE 200, or an eqivalent probablity course is recommended; coreq: CAS MA 226. Introduction to the molecular, physical, and computational principles of cell function in the context of cutting-edge applications in bioengineering and medicine. Biological concepts include: molecular building blocks, energetics, transport, metabolism, nucleic acids, gene expression, and genetics. Applications include bioenergy, synthetic biology, the human genome project, and gene circuit engineering. Labs will teach fundamental techniques of molecular biology including a multi-week module where students build and quantify bacterial gene expression system. Labs emphasize the experimental, problem-solving, and analytical skills required in modern engineering and research. 4 cr.
