Biology

Description:

This course will provide an in-depth investigation of the human use of plants for medicine, nutrition, and recreation. We will relate the anatomy, evolution, and ecology of plants to their physiological, cellular, and biochemical effects on humans. We will explore how plant-derived compounds cause immediate and long-term effects on human systems and behavior. This course is an interdisciplinary course that will bridge concepts of botany, pharmacology, cell biology, physiology, biochemistry, evolution and diversity, microbiology, immunology, genetics, and neuroscience. Botanical Pharmacology is a research-intensive course where students will apply the theory learned in class to student-designed research projects.
