-
1.00 - 2.00 Credits
A laboratory course, offered alone or in conjunction with BIOL 138, that includes experimental work showing how cellular structure and function are analyzed. Exercises include isolation of subcellular organelles, cytochemical and immunochemical staining of subcellular structures, conditions and drugs that affect the cytoskeleton, and the study of components involved in cell adhesion and membrane fluidity. Fulfills laboratory requirement for major. Amount of credit established at time of registration. Meets: Three hours laboratory. Prerequisite: BIOL 22. Corequisite: BIOL 138 if offered during the same semester. Offering to be determined.
-
4.00 Credits
Vertebrate anatomy and embryology integrated into a single sequence relating adult morphology to embryological development and adaptation. Stresses basic principles of vertebrate organization, functional considerations of morphology, homologies among vertebrate structures, and evolutionary relations of vertebrate groups. Laboratory work includes comparative studies of various vertebrate types and field trips to the Bronx Zoo and American Museum of Natural History. Fulfills laboratory requirement for major. Meets: Three hours class, three hours laboratory. Prerequisite: BIOL 7 and BIOL 9, or permission of instructor. Offered fall semester.
-
4.00 Credits
Examination of the principles of development and mechanisms involved in the growth , shaping, and differentiation of organisms. Topics include gene regulation in multicellular organisms, cytoplasmic determination, interactions with extracellular matrix, organ morphogenesis, and mechanisms regulating the pattern of biological structures. In the laboratory, traditional and modern biological techniques and procedures are applied to the study of development. Meets: Three hours class, three hours lab. Offering to be determined.
-
4.00 Credits
This course explores GIS (Geographic Information System) and related spatial analysis tools, which are used to elucidate the natural landscape and human modification of the earth's surface. Students will acquire cartographic, ArcGIS, and remote sensing skills through case studies and individual research investigations. Enrollment priority: Given to majors in Biology,Environmental Studies,and Archaeology. Same as: ESS 145.
-
4.00 Credits
The Earth's surface is diverse, with mountains, rivers, coasts, and glaciers existing in various locations on the planet. It is also dynamic, as mountains rise and fall, rivers meander, and coastlines evolve. In this course, we will explore how and why the Earth looks the way that it does, while considering important factors such as the impacts of climate, sea level changes, human activities, and plate tectonics. We will use the New Jersey landscape as a case study, exploring how it has changed from a landscape like the East African Rift, to its present, muted topography. Students will learn basic techniques for field geologists, methods of data analysis and presentation, and skills for effective reading of peer-reviewed literature. . These skills will be directly relevant to students interested in environmental science, ecology, archaeology, Prerequisite: Introductory lab science course or ESS30/Introduction to Environmental Science. To be determinded. Same as: ESS 146.
-
4.00 Credits
A survey of animal viruses with emphasis on human pathogens and mechanisms of viral pathogenesis. Course content includes topics such as the physical and chemical properties of viruses, viral cultivation, assay and analysis, and multiplication of both DNA and RNA viruses within the animal cell. Meets: Three hours class. Prerequisite: BIOL 7, 9, 22 and CHEM 25. Offering to be determined.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the principles of immunology. Stresses the nature of antigens, antibodies, and antigen-antibody interactions; humoral and cellular immune responses governing antibody production, hypersensitivities, transplantation, tolerance, autoimmunity, and neoplasia. Includes discussions on immunogenetics, immunoregulation, and the concept of immune networks. Meets: Three hours class. Prerequisite: BIOL 7, 9, 22 and CHEM 25. Offered spring semester.
-
1.00 Credits
Laboratory option serving BIOL 154. Experimental work in fundamentals of immunology; involves use of live animals. Exercises include immunization and bleeding techniques, gel diffusion tests, immunoelectrophoresis, immunofluorescence, Jerne plaque assay, ELISA and skin transplantation in rodents. Fulfills laboratory requirement for major. Co/prerequisite: BIOL 154. Meets: Three hours laboratory. Offered spring semester.
-
4.00 Credits
A course concerned with the structure, synthesis, and function of nucleic acids, proteins, and other cell components, using primary literature as well as current texts. Includes prokaryotic and eukaryotic genetics and mechanisms for rearrangement and exchange of genetic material (mutations, conjugation, transformation, transduction, transposition, and gene-splicing). Experimental work, advanced laboratory techniques, and independent projects. Fulfills laboratory requirement for major. Meets: Three hours class, three hours laboratory. Prerequisite: BIOL 7,9,22 and CHEM 26 (co-or pre-requisite), or permission of instructor. Offered spring semester.
-
4.00 Credits
Scientific advances in the late 19th and early 20th centuries resulted in the prevention and control of many infectious diseases, particularly in industrialized nations. Despite these improvements in health, outbreaks of infectious diseases continue to occur and new infections continue to emerge, some with devastating effects. This course will address trends in infectious diseases, analyze factors contributing to disease emergence, and discuss the development and implementation of prevention and control measures. Relevant topics in microbial pathogenesis and transmission, as well as important aspects of international health will also be addressed. Prerequisite: BIOL 4 and BIOL 26.
