-
4.00 Credits
This course will examine some topics introduced in Basic Biochemistry in greater detail, as well as selected topics in biochemistry such as biological information flow, biochemical studies in disease, and ecological biochemistry. The laboratory will extend the students' opportunities in analysis of biomolecules and their properties. Prerequisite: Biology/Chemistry 366. Also listed as Chemistry 368. Offered in alternate years.
-
3.00 Credits
A problem solving approach to understanding the molecular and cel lular basis of immunity in vertebrates, the differences and connections between innate and adaptive immunity, the range of innate immune functions outside of vertebrates, how self, non-self and altered self are distinguished, how immune functions deal with non-self and altered self, and disorders of the immune system. Prerequisite: Biology 230 and Biology 365 completed or taken concurrently. Offered irregularly.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Includes various topics for upper level specialty courses. Prerequisites: Junior standing and permission. Offered irregularly.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is designed to deepen understanding of the molecular processes of cells. The material builds on that from previous courses with respect to a few selected topics. Lab focuses on using molecular techniques to address novel research projects. Prerequisite: Biology 365 or 366 or permission of instructor. Offered irregularly.
-
4.00 Credits
Behavioral endocrinology is the study of the role hormones play in the physiology and behavior of animals. The interaction of behavior and endocrine system function is necessary to understand how psychological and biological systems express behavior. In this course, students will acquire an understanding of the feedback loop among behavior, endocrine and neurological function. Students will study how the endocrine system functions under normal conditions as well as under conditions of pathology. Topics include the influence of endocrine function on sexual behavior, social interaction, and physiological function. Students will gain laboratory experience in behavioral neuroendocrinology. Prerequisites: Biology 230, Biology/Psychology 215. Offered in alternate years.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Includes various topics for upper level specialty courses. Prerequisites: senior standing and permission. Offered irregularly.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Students who have an original idea or topic for research may solicit support from a sponsoring faculty member and carry out the research. The student must submit a research proposal to the research problem, the methods to be used, possible results, and an estimate of the resources needed. The student will submit a final report to the sponsoring faculty member and a public presentation to the department if he or she is using this for the apprenticeship. Prerequisites: junior or senior standing and permission.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course provides an opportunity for collaborative research among students and faculty. No more than ten juniors and seniors will work with a faculty member on a defined research project. While the faculty member will guide the research project, all members of the team will work together to delineate the role(s) each will play in carrying out the project. Students may use the research project to fulfill the apprenticeship requirement, but a written contract between the instructor and the student must be agreed upon by both prior to registration for the course. The topic of research will vary as different members of the faculty offer this apprenticeship opportunity. Possible topics include: Recombinant Biology, Histology, Animal Physiology, Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, Parasitology, Plant Anatomy and Systematics, Animal Behavior, Neuroscience, and Ecology. Prerequisites: junior or senior standing and permission. Offered irregularly.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course provides an opportunity for collaborative research among students and faculty. No more than six students will work with a faculty member on a defined research project. While the faculty member will guide the research project, all members of the team will work together to delineate the role(s) each will play. Students may use this research as the basis for their senior seminar in Chemistry or APEX requirement in Biology, but only with the prior written consent of the instructor. Also listed as Chemistry 483. Offered in alternate years.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
This apprenticeship provides field experience in various areas of biology and is typically done off campus. A student selects an internship in consultation with a departmental advisor. Internships are tailored to help students gain experience for a career in biology. Students are placed in zoological and botanical gardens, biological field stations, universities, hospitals, government agencies, and private institutions, with emphasis on practical application of biology. Each student submits to the faculty advisor a journal of his or her daily activities and a paper that succinctly details the most important aspects of the internship. Each student also gives a public presentation to the department if he or she is using this for the apprenticeship. Offered yearly.
