-
3.00 Credits
The vertebrate endocrine system. The cellular origin of hormones, their role in physiological regulation, and the mechanism of hormone action. Prerequisite: BIOL 1441, 1442, 3301, 3315; at least one physiology course, and senior standing.
-
3.00 Credits
Host-pathogen relationships in microbial diseases. Topics include bacterium-host interactions; pathogens and pathogenic factors; techniques in pathogenesis research; molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis by major bacterial pathogens; antimicrobial compounds and resistance to antibiotics; and discussion of human genomics and susceptibility to infections. Prerequisites: BIOL 3312, 3444
-
3.00 Credits
The biological basis of behavioral development. A survey of the influences of maternal factors, genes, hormones, teratogens, early nutrition, and environmental change upon the maturation of the central nervous system. Basic concepts such as critical periods, the organization of behavioral systems, neural plasticity, and the ontogeny of consciousness. Also offered as BIOL 4325; credit will be granted only once. Students seeking credit toward the science requirement must enroll in BIOL 4325. Prerequisite: PSYC 3310 or PSYC 3322 or BIOL 3322 or BIOL 3346.
-
3.00 Credits
Genetic influences on behavioral phenotypes. Research strategies, quantitative methods, and pharmacogenetic approaches to the brain; sociality and altruism; the personality, emotionality and intelligence; psychopathology; chromosomal abnormalities; forensic implications of genetic counseling. Also offered as BIOL 4327; credit will be granted only once. Students seeking credit toward the science requirement must enroll in BIOL 4327. Prerequisite: BIOL 3315 or PSYC 2444.
-
3.00 Credits
This course consists of both lecture/discussion and laboratory. Lecture topics include central and peripheral nervous system injury and regeneration, brain/machine interfacing, primary culture of neural cells, neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative disease. Laboratories include embryonic and neonatal rat derived neuronal culturing, immunostaining and quantitative analysis. Prerequisites: BIOL 3301, CSE 1310, CHEM 2322, and MATH 3319.
-
3.00 Credits
The diversity of animal and plant forms can largely be raced to evolutionary changes in the genes that control the development of the embryo. Changes in when and where these genes are active have been important in the diversification of body form. A major goal of this course is to provide an interdisciplinary framework for studies related to evolution, genetics, and development. The course will mainly consist of lecturers and seminars; relevant scientific papers will be read and commented on in class. Prerequisite: BIOL 3315.
-
3.00 Credits
Molecular biology, protein-nucleic acid interactions, nucleic acid biochemistry, and the RNA World. Prerequisite: BIOL 1441, 1442, 3315, General Chemistry (CHEM 1441 & 1442). Recommended, but not required: CHEM 2321.
-
3.00 Credits
This is a foundation course in polymeric biomaterial design, synthesis, characterization, and processing. The topics include design, surface-engineering, functionalization, characterization, as well as micro- and nano-fabrication of polymeric biomaterials. The biomedical applications of the polymeric biomaterials and their interaction with cell/tissue is discussed. Prerequisite: BIOL 3301, CSE 1310, CHEM 2322 and MATH 3319.
-
3.00 Credits
Synthesis, fabrication, characterization, and biomedical applications of nanobiomaterials. Topics include synthetic nanobiomaterials, biological nanobiomaterials (DNA nanomaterials, protein and peptide nanomaterials, etc.), biofunctionalization of nanobiomaterials, use of nanobiomaterials in tissue engineering, drug delivery, gene delivery. Prerequisites: BIOL 3301, CSE 1310, CHEM 2322, and MATH 3319.
-
3.00 Credits
The effects interspecific interactions have on the distribution and abundance of organisms. Prerequisite: BIOL 1441, 1442, 2343, and three semester hours of ecology.
