  • BIOLOGY 348: Advanced Cell Biology

    3.00 Credits
    Hope College

    An advanced study of cell structure, function and regulation of eukaryotic cells. The goal of this course is for students to learn and understand cellular/molecular mechanisms that are essential in the maintenance of cellular homeostasis. The specific topics include cell membrane, cell organelles, cytoskeleton, extracellular matrix and cell cycle. The gene structure and function is also explored. Three lectures per week. Prerequisites: introductory biology courses and Chemistry 221 or permission of the instructor. Three Credits Burnatowska-Hledin Fall Semester

  • BIOLOGY 349: Advanced Cell Biology Laboratory

    1.00 - 3.00 Credits
    Hope College

    The laboratory course employs an investigative project approach and introduces students to the scientific literature, "research proposal" writing, and latest technologies used to investigate cellularfunction. The experiments focus on the cancer cell as a model and employ such techniques as cell culture, assays measuring cell proliferation and apoptosis, RNA isolation and microarray analysis, immunocytochemistry, and finally, protein analysis through gel electrophoresis and Western blotting. One 3-hour lab per week. Prerequisites: to be taken with Biology 348. One Credit Burnatowska-Hledin Fall Semester

  • BIOLOGY 366: Molecular Biology

    1.00 - 5.00 Credits
    Hope College

    An advanced course which examines the role of gene structure, function, and regulation at the molecular level to explain biological processes. Topics include basic processes such as DNA replication, recombination, and regulation of gene expression, as well as an emphasis on experimental design and techniques. The laboratory component of the course uses a project approach to introduce experimental design and molecular biological methods as students clone and characterize a gene. Three lectures per week, and one 5-hour laboratory. The lab meets only during the last half of the semester. Prerequisites: all biology core courses and Chemistry 231. Biology 356 recommended.
