This course introduces students to the theory and practice of DNA manipulation that is involved in modern molecular biology, including cancer research, cellular development, regulation of differentiation and construction of designer genes in plants, animals, humans, microorganisms and virus. These methods are common in health research, industrial discovery and environmental remediation. The lecture and the laboratory, which involves DNA manipulation and gene cloning, are designed for students interested in careers in medicine, biotechnology, microbiology and graduate programs. Prerequisite: BI 370; Every Year, Spring

Lab to accompany BI 471. (4 lab hrs.) Every Year, Spring
-
4.00 Credits
This course addresses the isolation, growth, genetic manipulation and use of organisms (commonly genetically modified) or their products in fermented food production, agriculture, pharmaceutical discovery and production, molecular diagnostics, vaccine production, transgenic animal formation and human gene therapy. Purification, identification, optimization, testing, government regulations and patents are addressed. This hands-on course is designed for students interested in careers in the expanding modern world of applied biology and microbiology in research and industry. (4 lab hrs.) Prerequisite: BI 370; Every Year, Fall
-
3.00 Credits
This course looks at infectious hazards associated with a wide range of human leisure activities, from lazing on a beach to relaxing in a spa, dining out, or simply staying home and gardening. Participants discuss infections linked to salt and freshwater activities, camping and the outdoors, gardening, contact with animals, eating, foreign travel, sports, sexually transmitted diseases, body piercing, tattooing, and trekking to high altitudes. Topics such as epidemiology, antibiotic resistance, pathogenicity, plagues and vaccines also are addressed. This course has social organization of the science of infectious diseases. Prerequisite: BI 370 or BI 213; Every Other Year, Fall
-
3.00 Credits
This course examines the impact of infectious diseases on humans-in the past, in the present and in the future. Diseases, especially infectious diseases, have significantly shaped the course of our history. From the 14th-century plague to the current HIV/AIDS, diseases have fundamentally altered the shape of society, politics and culture. This class examines some important diseases, including their impact, pathogenicity, infectivity, epidemiology, consequences, costs and lessons learned. Diseases such as smallpox, polio, rabies, tuberculosis, cholera, bubonic plague, influenza, malaria, yellow fever, syphilis, and AIDS are investigated. The impact of antibiotics, antibiotic resistance and nosocomial infections also is discussed. Prerequisite: BI 370; Every Other Year, Fall

Prerequisites: BI 370
-
4.00 Credits
This course is designed to examine the role of unique and exciting microorganisms found in the natural environment, especially those from extreme environments such as deep sea vents, hot springs, high salt or acidophilic environments, which are also of considerable industrial interest. This hands-on course examines air, soil and water microorganisms with respect to their isolation, unique physiology, ecological relationships, significance, and government/ health regulations. The course is designed for biology, health science and microbiology/biotechnology majors. Prerequisite: BI 370; Every Other Year, Spring
