Experimental and Molecular Medicine 271 - Advanced Biomedical Sciences

Institution:

Dartmouth College

Subject:

Description:

09S Offered every year This course emphasizes the integration of molecular, cellular, and systems level information and the experimental approaches used to understand physiology and pathophysiology. It is designed to provide graduate students with a more sophisticated understanding of the major systems of an organism and how they act and interact in order for an individual to adapt and survive in the face of changing environmental resources and challenges. The course is organized into week-long, "stand alone" modules that cover integrative, translational topics in immunology, cardiovascular physiology, endocrinology, and neurobiology (eg. influenza, congestive heart failure, sleep disorders, drug addiction, space physiology). Course meetings are a mixture of lectures and in-class discussions led by the participating faculty, as well as laboratory exercises and demonstrations, including human brain dissections, visits to clinical laboratories and diagnostic centers, and "hands on" opportunities with state-of-the-art electrophysiological and cardiovascular techniques. Course activities are supplemented by primary research articles, reviews, and other on-line materials. Instructor: Mau
