-
3.00 Credits
The biochemical composition, structure, and cellular metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids are rigorously described, emphasizing problem solving strategies required of biomedical field applications.
-
1.00 Credits
Students read and discuss one BMB primary research article each week and answer a set of questions meant to provoke critical evaluation of the work. The course introduces students to critical reading of the primary literature in BMB and is open to students at any level. Peer-mentoring and informal student-led instruction is central to the course.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will provide thorough understanding of the role of different nutrients, their occurrence in food, uptake in the digestive system, transport in blood or lymph, uptake in cells, storage, function and metabolism and excretion. Biosynthesis of nutrients in plants and micro-organisms will also be considered. The students will be taught how to gather information about the course topics.
-
1.00 Credits
Students attend seminars of their own choice, presented by either visiting/residing faculty or graduate/postdoctoral students on recent research topics in BMB or any other discipline in the basic biomedical sciences. Students write short reports on these seminars and critically evaluate the presentations. This course can be taken more than once.
-
1.00 Credits
Students explore topics in BMB in the context of solving problems presented in a clinical/biomedical framework. Students work in small groups and independently to acquire, critically evaluate, synthesize and present information.
-
3.00 Credits
The physical characteristics and behavior of proteins are described, including structure, folding, dynamics, modifications, and interactions. In addition, experimental approaches to protein structure and function are addressed. Readings include both textbook assignments and current research articles, and a term paper is written and submitted for writing credit.
-
3.00 Credits
Biochemical processes involved in the flow of genetic information in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes are described, including DNA replication, repair, geneticre combination, RNA transcription and processing, protein synthesis, control of gene expression, cell differentiation, and recombinant DNA technology. Extensive classroom discussion is mandatory. Reading includes BMB primary research papers, course notes and a textbook.
-
2.00 - 3.00 Credits
Students independently explore the literature in BMB with guidance by a BMB Faculty mentor. BMB primary research literature in an area of mutual interest to the student and the Faculty mentor (usually a content expert in that area) is discussed. Students prepare a paper or other appropriate product (e.g. computer software, a structural model, a dynamic simulation) for evaluation. Writing credit is available for papers.
-
2.00 - 3.00 Credits
Students actively participate in the research laboratory of a faculty mentor to work on an independent research project. Students develop abilities to formulate good questions and sound hypotheses, design practical experiments, collect and analyze useful data, and make justifiable conclusions. Students maintain a weekly online journal, write a paper, and present their research in the lab. Two semesters of BMB 545 is required to write a thesis (pre-requisite for graduating with honors in BMB). Writing credit is available for papers.
-
3.00 Credits
This introductory course is designed to expose high school students to biomedical engineering. The program is designed for the exemplary high school student interested in applied mathematics and science. The students will be provided with an understanding and some hands-on experience on topics relative to the discipline of Biomedical Engineering. The course content changes throughout the 3-week duration and includes topics on lasers, medical imaging, biomaterials, bioelectricity and biomechanics. The students will be able to understand the challenges associated with the design, testing and FDA clearance of biomedical devices and the importance of the scientific methods in engineering.. The laboratory and field trip experiences will deal with the design and testing of a bio electric device. Summer Scholar Students only.
