  • 2.00 Credits

    Credit Hours: 2.00. This is a synthesis course which is designed to allow a student the opportunity to utilize all his/her biological knowledge and general education skills (represent views clearly and cogently, analyze, think critically, and formulate reasoned conclusions) to solve real world problems within the area of the biological sciences. This course is also used by the faculty to assess and improve the curricular components of the biology degree program. .

  • 3.00 Credits

    Credit Hours: 3.00. This course is divided into two major sections. In the first section, students will study topics dealing with protein biology and biochemistry such as enzyme action and isolation, molecular evolution, and the detection and molecular basis of human disease. Techniques that will be used for these experiments include electrophoresis (both native and SDS denatured), chromatography (affinity and gel filtration), peptide mapping analysis, and the Western blot procedure. In the second section of the course, students will perform experiments that deal with DNA structure and function. These experiments stress the organization and complexity of the prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes, gene function and regulation, and the structure of the eukaryotic chromosome. Techniques that will be used in this section include restriction nuclease mapping, isolation of organelles, gene cloning, and Southern blot hybridization procedures.

  • 3.00 Credits

    Credit Hours: 3.00. An introduction to modern molecular biology techniques and how they are used to address current topics in gene regulation. Emphasis will be placed on experimental procedures and model systems, such as site-directed mutagenesis of isolated genes and their subsequent introduction into prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Topics will address the molecular control mechanisms associated with DNA replication, RNA transcription, RNA processing, and differential gene expression.

  • 3.00 Credits

    Credit Hours: 3.00. The objective of this course is to provide students with an introductory understanding of viruses and their impact on human health. The course will be divided into two sections. During the first section, we will discuss the cellular and organismal events that occur following virus infection, including viral entry, replication, modulation of cell biology by viral proteins, the host immune response to infection, evasion of the immune response by viruses, and resulting virus-induced disease. The emphasis of this first section will be on the general strategies used by viruses to establish and maintain infection in a population. In the second section, we will discuss in relative detail our current understanding of select important human viruses including influenza, HIV, smallpox, the herpesviruses, and tumor-causing viruses. The objective of this section will be to understand how the unique aspects of each virus's biology affect the outcome of infection with these pathogens. In addition to virus-associated diseases, we will discuss potential ways that viruses may provide symbiotic benefits to their hosts and thereby shape the course of human evolution. Throughout the course, we will emphasize societal and political aspects of virology and virus-derived technologies, including vaccine development, the use of viruses as gene therapy vectors, and the threat of viral bioterror of bio-error.
