3.00 Credits
Lecture 3 hrs. A study of the cellular and humoral interaction involved in the response of the host to antigenic stimulation. Special emphasis is given to bursal and thymic influence on lymphoid cells, immune mechanisms in viral diseases, vaccines, autoimmune disorders and immunochemistry. Prerequisite: BIO220 or BIO206 and junior/senior standing. 3 credits.
-
3.00 Credits
Lecture 3 hrs. Neuroscience is an interdisciplinary field encompassing cell biology and physiology, biochemistry, physics and psychology. As such, it is considered to be an integrative science of brain, body and emotion. The anatomical features of the nervous system and the principle molecular and physiological events that govern neuronal communication are the foundations of the course. These fundamentals will be used to introduce students to system level concepts, such as, neural development, sensory and motor control, learning and conditioning behavior and memory. Prerequisite: PSY100 and BIO220 and junior/senior standing. 3 credits.
-
3.00 Credits
Lab 3 hrs. This laboratory course correlates with BIO425 Neuroscience. It may be taken with BIO425 or following it. The lab will cover anatomical, physiological, behavioral, and neurobiological modeling techniques used to study the nervous system and the brain. This course will emphasize learning basic neuroscience laboratory techniques using living, non-vertebrate animals. The students will also practice designing research experiments and taking them through the grant approval process. Prerequisite: BIO425 or concurrent enrollment, junior/senior. standing. 1 credit.
-
3.00 Credits
A pre-research course offering the opportunity to do independent laboratory research work on some problem in biology. The student is expected to do a literature search on the current state of knowledge of the chosen problem, design and carry out a research project intended to add to that knowledge and to make both a formal oral and written presentation of the data. The choice of a problem must be approved in advance by the faculty member supervising the student in this course. Prerequisite: Declared Biology major/minor. 3-4 credits.
-
3.00 Credits
Lecture 3 hrs./Lab 2 hrs. Introductory material includes review lectures on the structure and synthesis of DNA, RNA and protein. Classroom discussions include the gene theory, the various methods by which genes are expressed or repressed, structural changes in the chromosomes and their effects, elementary Mendelism and its modification, and the genetics of prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Prerequisite: BIO220 and junior/senior standing. 4 credits.
-
3.00 Credits
Lecture 3 hrs. This course presents an in-depth study of the present theories of what constitutes the normal cell, the adapted cell, the injured cell and the dead cell. The exogenous and endogenous environmental stresses that exceed the adaptive capabilities of the cells are examined. Their injury at the cellular level is related to diseases of the individual organs and to the effects these diseases have on the body as a whole. Prerequisite: BIO220 or BIO206, and junior/senior standing. 3 credits.
-
3.00 Credits
Lecture 3 hrs. The basic properties of viruses are examined in depth. This information serves as the basis for analyzing the mechanisms by which viruses interact with humans, animals, plants or bacteria to produce disease. The use of viruses as tools for studies in genetics, biochemistry, and molecular biology are also presented. Viruses are considered in two parallel ways, as very interesting organisms and as agents of disease. Prerequisites: BIO210 and 220, junior/senior standing. 3 credits.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture /Research/Presentations 4 hrs. This course provides an opportunity for students to make formal written and oral presentation of in-depth areas of current biological and biomedical research literature. Class discussions include recent developments in the biological sciences including the ethical considerations of those developments. In addition, the student will review the history and philosophy of science. Prerequisite: 300-level biology course. 4 credits.
-
3.00 Credits
In-depth laboratory investigation of a specific topic in biology. Topic and credit to be determined by the faculty member who is acting as research advisor. Prerequisite: Permission of the department Chair. 1-6 credits.
-
3.00 Credits
Supervised study in an area not available in a regularly scheduled course. Prerequisite: Proposal approved by the department Chair, Biology majors and minors only. 2-4 credits.
