3.00 Credits
This course studies physiology, pharmacology, and disease processes in an integrated format, and provides the scientific basis for understanding of health and diseases at the molecular level. Emphasis is placed on normal bodily functions and the characteristic interactions of a drug and the body in terms of its absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion. The content of this course will consider deviations from normal (pathophysiology), where such discussions serve to clarify the basic principles. It will provide necessary linkage between the basic sciences and the clinical approach to disease processes. (3 one-hour lectures and one meeting with a mentor per week.) Prerequisite: BIO 3446 and departmental approval.
-
3.00 Credits
This course continues from BIO 4352, in which further normal and pathophysiological conditions are examined. (3 one-hour lectures and one meeting with a mentor per week.) Prerequisite: BIO 4352.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to portray botany in the service of humanity as a basis for the supply of food, shelter, clothing, medicine and many other basic needs. There will also be studies concerned with the improvement, multiplication and culture of useful plants. (2 one-hour lectures and 1 two-hour laboratory period per week.) Prerequisite: BIO 2416.
-
3.00 Credits
This course deals with recent trends in ecology. Special topics and issues related to social, physical and biological aspects of ecology will be discussed. (1 lecture period and 2 two-hour laboratory periods per week.) Prerequisites: BIO 4471 and SOC 3323.
-
3.00 Credits
This course describes those substances and agents that behave like toxins when they engage a living organism, and what steps, processes, and methods can be employed to minimize the effect of such substances once they come in contact with animal or human life.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will give students an understanding of DNA, a special set of structural components that reveal the characteristics and traits of a cell. The code by which DNA is translated into biological functions is based in its code, which is made up of nucleotides and amino acids that come together as the building blocks of protein. The understanding of these sequences, based in the order of nucleotide bases in the DNA molecule, permits students to understand how to make adjustments that can modify the manner in which the cell functions. In order to achieve this information quickly, this course provides a working knowledge of various computer-based tools available for predicting the structure and function of proteins that graphically manifest as three-dimensional folds. A computer laboratory will be used to complement lectures so that students can achieve these three-dimensional structures by employing the sequences revealed by the protein associated with the relevant DNA.

3.00 Credits
This course will focus on explaining the steps that may be followed in the creation of an enterprise. At the outset, biotechnology companies are driven by techniques and information that relates to how to achieve a result at a molecular level. Students are taught to understand rules about running a successful research project, how to maintain trade secret status over the subject matter, how to decide on the use of intellectual property rights in the form of patents, trade secrets and trademarks and what the consequences are of each choice. Participants will learn about ways in which venture capital is raised and what one has to reveal to investors to achieve to raise it properly. Then students are advised of the kinds of circumstances that should be considered in planning the marketing, advertising and distribution of the property or methodology in light of the solution involved. From an internal point of view, students are taught the basic concepts of leadership, negotiation, organization behavior, management by objectives, and financial planning.
-
4.00 - 6.00 Credits
The purpose of this course is to provide the student with a closely supervised laboratory experience at a University, government agency or bioscience/biotechnology company. Time requirements will be determined by credit hours, with a minimum of 2 hours per credit per week during an academic year semester or four to six weeks full-time during the summer. Students must make arrangements with the course instructor at least six weeks before the semester is to begin. Prerequisites: Completion of at least 8 SH of biology courses at the 3000-4000 level and permission of the Life Sciences chair (and major department chair for students who minor in biotechnology).
-
4.00 Credits
Functions of the immune system are defined in this senior-level course. The cells, tissues and organs that perform these functions are identified. The mechanisms through which the immune system performs its functions are considered. (2 one-hour lecture and 2 two-hour laboratory periods per week.) Prerequisites: BIO 1401, BIO 3426 or BIO 3431, and CHE 3126 and CHE 3326; BIO 3446 is strongly recommended.
-
4.00 Credits
The relationship between plant structure and various physiological processes is studied. The processes of absorption, nutrition, respiration, growth and reproduction are explained in terms of chemistry and physics. (3 lectures and 1 two-hour laboratory period per week.) Prerequisites: BIO 2416 and CHE 2111 and CHE 2311.
