1.00 Credits
This course will introduce students to Biology faculty and their research at the University of Utah. Faculty will describe the societal significance of their area of research, and why they chose their model system and experimental approach. Faculty will highlight research by undergraduates and explain how new biology students can become involved in exciting research opportunities. Biology faculty research spans from ecology, climate science, human physiology, brain function, cells, biological nanomachines and molecular structure.

3.00 Credits
Laboratory course. DNA extracted from individual organisms and characterized for PCR and RFLP polymorphism. Interesting DNA regions cloned and sequenced. Results from different individuals cloned and polymorphic structure of population examined. Prerequisites: "C-" or better in ((BIOL 1620 OR BIOL 2010) AND BIOL 2030).

3.00 Credits
Genomics is the study of genomes and their functions, and bioinformatics involves the collection and analysis of biological data. Too often, these disciplines are taught in isolation, even though questions about genome structure and function often drive the bioinformatic analyses that provide the respective answers. This course takes an integrative approach to illustrate fundamental principles of genome structure and function while empowering students to comprehend and perform genomic-focused biological data analyses. Prerequisites: 'C-' or better in BIOL 1210 OR BIOL 1610 Corequisites: BIOL 2030

1.00 Credits
This laboratory course will equip students with a broad hands-on knowledge of common practices in a Microbiology laboratory. The course curriculum is designed based upon recommendations by the American Society of Microbiology and aims to provide laboratory and analytical skills to students on various essential topics in the field. Students will find it enjoyable to work with microorganisms and will also be able to understand and apply important concepts in Microbiology. Corequisites: "C-" or better in (BIOL 3210 OR BIOL 3370 OR PATH 3100).
-
3.00 Credits
This is an introductory course on Microbiology covering major topics in the field with a special emphasis on Medical Microbiology for students pursuing health-related professions. The first half of the course will focus on the structure and function of microorganisms and the application of microorganisms in the human world. The second half of the course will focus on medical microbiology covering bacterial and viral diseases, parasitology, pathogenesis, the immune system, vaccines and epidemiology. Prerequisites: "C-" or better in ((BIOL 2020 OR BIOL 2021) AND (CHEM 1110 OR CHEM 1130 OR CHEM 1210 OR CHEM 1211 OR AP Chemistry 4 or better)).
-
2.00 Credits
Experimental analysis of cell structure and function. Note: students may enroll concurrently in BIOL 5215 and carry out more extensive and independent experiments. Corequisites: "C-" or better in (BIOL 2020 OR BIOL 2021).
-
3.00 Credits
How do complex multicellular organisms, with their many specialized cell types precisely arranged, and with coordinated functions, arise from a single cell? This class addresses this question by examining the experimental evidence in both animal and plant systems. Topics focus on the cellular, molecular and genetic bases or morphogenesis and differential gene expression. Current controversies surrounding embryonic stem cells, therapeutic cloning, gene therapy, genetic profiling and environmental influences on development will be discussed to illustrate developmental principles. Enrollment in BIOL 3235, Developmental Biology Lab, is optional, but encouraged. Prerequisites: "C-" or better in BIOL 2030.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the anatomy, physiology, and chemistry of nervous systems at the cellular level. Prerequisites: "C-" or better in (BIOL 2020 OR BIOL 2021).
-
3.00 Credits
Microorganisms run the world. They are the foundation of every habitat on earth, from our bodies to the deep sea. The aim of this course is to train students to appreciate the fundamental microbial processes that are at the heart of many pressing medical and environmental issues today. The course is inherently interdisciplinary and will involve concepts in microbiology, genomics, ecology, evolution, and biogeochemistry. Students with any interest in medical, molecular, environmental, or evolutionary aspects of microbiology are welcome. Prerequisites: "C-" or better in (BIOL 1620 OR BIOL 2010).
