-
0.00 Credits
Non-credit laboratory to accompany MICR 6130. Coreq: MICR 6130.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the immune system of vertebrate animals, with an emphasis on structure, function, regulation, and cellular and molecular mechanisms of immune responses. May also be offered as AVS 6140 or BIOL 6140. Students are expected to have completed coursework in cell biology and introductory microbiology before enrolling in this course.
-
3.00 Credits
Investigates the molecular basis of microbial lives. Topics include essential genes involved in DNA, RNA and protein metabolism; mutations and genome evolution; global gene regulation; and genetic analysis, using both forward and reverse genetics. Students are expected to have completed coursework in bacterial physiology, biochemistry and genetics before enrolling in this course.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the field of virology focusing on the principles that all viruses use to successfully reproduce and spread within a host. The molecular basis of viral structure-function, alternative reproductive cycles, the interactions of viruses with host organisms and how these lead to disease are presented with examples drawn from human, animal, bacterial and plant viruses. Students are expected to have completed coursework in introductory microbiology and biochemistry before enrolling in this course.
-
3.00 Credits
Discusses alterations that occur at molecular, cellular and tissue levels during cell transformation. Topics include the cell division cycle, signal transduction pathways, oncogenes and tumor suppressors, cell death, and cancer therapies.
-
3.00 Credits
The course focuses on molecular mechanisms associated with disease initiation, disease progression, virulence mechanisms, host-pathogen interactions, diagnosis and treatments of eukaryotic pathogens. The course primarily uses research articles to keep up with latest research in these fields. Preq: MICR 3050 with a grade of C or better and BIOL 4610.
-
1.00 Credits
This course is designed to apply the knowledge gained in MICR 6140, Immunology lecture, in an applied setting. The experiments in this beginning immunology laboratory are designed to study both the innate and acquired immune systems. Experimentation into the formation, function and detection of antibodies provides students with skills in basic immunologic techniques. Preq or concurrent enrollment: MICR 6140.
-
1.00 Credits
Complements the genetics topics covered in the Microbial Genetics lecture. These topics are important at practical levels for molecular and genetics studies. The laboratory is used to teach basic cloning techniques, the basis of blue/white screening, isolation of mutants, calculation of mutation rate, as well as gene regulation. Preq or concurrent enrollment: MICR 6150.
-
1.00 Credits
The laboratory is used to teach the basic molecular protocols for cancer and aging research, and will help students to understand the mechanisms of cancer and aging discussed in lecture. Preq or concurrent enrollment: MICR 6170.
-
1.00 Credits
Examines microbes residing in the soil and their effects on the soil substratum and resident plant communities. Topics include biogeochemistry, microbial isolation, microcosm development, and characterization of soil microbial communities. Preq or concurrent enrollment: MICR 4100 or consent of instructor.
