Microbial Ecology is the study of microorganisms in their natural habitats and their interactions with other living organisms. Topics explored in this course include the evolution of life on Earth, the diversity of microorganisms, microbial biogeography, symbiotic microbial interactions, and biogeochemical cycles. Current and historical research in microbial ecology is emphasized throughout the course. The laboratory experiments may involve isolating, identifying, and studying novel microorganisms from unique environments, studying environmental microbiomes, finding novel antibiotic producing organisms, and modeling biogeochemical cycles. Experimental techniques used in the laboratory involve advanced methods of cultivation, molecular identification techniques, and chemical assays. This course consists of 3 one-hour lectures and 1 three-hour laboratory per week.
Prerequisite:
CHEM 1210 and MICR 2054

3.00 Credits
This course will focus on the study of the human immune system and its role in health and disease. The course topics include the innate and adaptive immune responses and their role in host defense as well as immunodeficiency and hypersensitivity responses. Manipulation of the immune system through pharmacological means, vaccination or transplantation will also be studied. This course is intended for the student studying Medical Lab Sciences or someone who wants to know more about the human immune system and who has already taken a course in Microbiology. The course is not intended as a first course in biology and it cannot be used as a Microbiology elective course for Microbiology majors. This course is only offered online with the exception of Fall Semester which also offers a face-to-face option consisting of 3 one-hour lectures per week.

Characteristics of clinically relevant pathogenic bacteria, fungi, and other microbes. From the point of view of the microbe, topics will include pathogenesis, virulence factors and toxins, mechanisms of immune evasion, and unique biological features. From the point of view of the human host, we will discuss epidemiology, disease symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and control.
