3.00 Credits
Basic principles of immunology to include humeral and cell-mediated immune mechanisms, the complement system and the inflammatory response. Offered concurrently with PCB 5235; graduate students will be assigned additional work.
-
1.00 Credits
Selected experiments in immunology. Special permission required. Permission granted on the basis of fulfilling prerequisite. Material and Supply Fee will be assessed. Offered concurrently with PCB 5235L; graduate students will be assigned additional work.
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers the current understanding of the mechanisms that regulate animal development. Students will learn patterns and mechanisms of animal development, with an emphasis on model organisms such as Drosophila, Xenopus, chick, mouse, zebrafish. A central theme will be development as a phenomenon of differential gene regulation. Developmental mechanisms, especially at a molecular level, will be examined for differences and commonality among organisms, with a special focus on key signaling pathways. Specific topics include formation of early body plan, cell type determination, organogenesis, morphogenesis, stem cells, and issues in human development.
-
1.00 Credits
The purpose of this course is to give students experience with important techniques used to study developmental biology, to provide hands-on learning opportunities that accompany material learned in the lecture course, and to provide research and scientific communication experience applicable to developmental biology and other biomedical research fields.
-
3.00 Credits
Interdisciplinary approach to understanding and interpreting interrelationships between adaptation and environment in marine animals. Examines life history strategies and tactics unique to organisms found living in or around marine habitats. Specific behavioral and physiological responses of marine animals exposed to feeding, metabolic, oxic, osmotic and thermal challenges are discussed. Offered concurrently with PCB 5319; graduate students will be assigned additional work.
-
1.00 Credits
Field techniques for quantifying physiological adaptations of marine organisms to their abiotic environment. Students will characterize marine habitats and assess feeding, metabolic, oxic, thermal and osmoregulatory strategies used by vertebrates and invertebrates living in these habitats. Material and Supply Fee will be assessed. Offered concurrently with PCB 5319L; graduate students will be assigned additional work.
-
3.00 Credits
1-6 week course culminating in an expedition with Op Wall to study coral reefs, mangrove forests, as well as tropical dry, rain and cloud forests. Students will attend a lecture series discussing selected topics in tropical ecology prior to the expedition. A series of slides featuring plants and animals common to the area will be shown to familiarize students with the local flora and fauna and to give them a greater appreciation for tropical ecology. Offered concurrently with PCB 5344; graduate students will be assigned additional work. Permission is required.
-
3.00 Credits
Overall, the aim of this course is as an introduction to how developments in modern genetic techniques are used to improve our understanding of evolutionary and ecological processes. We will explore the biology of populations and communities of organisms using molecular data. Students will create, practice, and write a grant proposal in an area of their choosing as if it were submitted for external funding. Further, you will learn how these techniques can be applied to conservation and biodiversity issues.
-
3.00 Credits
Study of the molecular level of the principles governing DNA replication, repair, RNA transcription, and protein synthesis in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Surveys molecular processing, and recombinant DNA technology. Offered concurrently with PCB 5527; graduate students are required to write a research paper and present it to the class. Material and supply fee will be assessed to corresponding lab. A grade of "C" or higher is required in prerequisite courses.
-
1.00 Credits
Corresponding lab for Molecular Biology.
