ENVE 6000 - Applied Biology for Engineers

Institution:

University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

Subject:

Description:

This course focuses on elucidating many of the necessary tools and experimental procedures required for studying biological systems. The topics will be limited to the fundamental information and skills needed for dissecting and designing these systems, beginning with basic cellular physiology, progressing to protein synthesis and purification and concluding with pertinent enzymatic processes. Along the way we will distill only the essential biological information required for examining and engineering natural physical systems. To meet the demands of a variety of engineering disciplines, a combination of molecular biology, cellular biology and biochemistry will be amalgamated to provide a practical working knowledge in the areas of nucleic acid structure/function, PCR, protein structures, engineering and purification; as well as macroscale assembly of these protein building blocks into cellular processes like enzymatic remediation, fermentation, and photosynthesis. Overall, the class is designed to provide a useful introduction to the continuously evolving biological sciences, and to teach how biological tools are best used by engineers.
