-
3.00 Credits
Explore mechanisms underlying development. Topics: gamete interactions, establishment of body plans, cell signaling and tissue interactions, morphogenetic pattern formation, developmental regulation of gene expression, molecular control of tissue specification and diversification, and the evolutionary comparison of developmental processes. Diseases resulting from developmental defects will be discussed. PREREQ: BISC401 and BISC403. RESTRICTIONS: Requires instructor approval.
-
3.00 Credits
Provides an integrated Lecture series summarizing current knowledge in cancer biology. Topics include: statistics of incidence/survival, pathology, the process of chemical carcinogenesis and sources of carcinogens, genetic and epigenetic mechanisms and consequences, viral and hormonal carcinogenesis as well as current treatment options. PREREQ: BISC207, CHEM321 and one of the following: BISC401, CHEM527 or CHEM642 RESTRICTIONS: Permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Covers the functional organization of the nervous system from a clinical perspective, with emphasis on the brain stem, cranial nerves, limbic system, and cerebral cortex. Also surveys basic etiology, signs and symptoms of injury to spinal pathways, sensory-motor systems, methods of neurologic testing, and the Mental Status Exam.
-
3.00 Credits
Study of the physiology of the central nervous system, with an emphasis on the cellular and molecular basis of signal transmission in the brain.
-
3.00 Credits
Understand population processes by combining a discussion of theory and practical applications. Includes exponential, logistic, and age-specific growth as well as predation, competition, disease, and metapopulations. Model-building exercises actively used to understand theoretical dynamics. RESTRICTIONS: Requires permission of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
Developmental biology of the nervous system, including cellular components, neural induction, neurogenesis and neuronal migration, cellular determination, axon outgrowth and pathfinding, synapse formation, programmed cell death, neurotrophic factors, neurodevelopmental disorders, and early critical periods. PREREQ: BISC305 or BISC401.
-
3.00 Credits
Single-Semester introduction to the numerical analysis of biological data in fields such as molecular and cellular biology. Emphasis on choosing and using the correct analysis method for each experiment by using small number of relatively simple statistical tests.
-
3.00 Credits
Proteins carry out myriad cellular processes. This course examines how protein structure gives rise to function. We will discuss elements of protein structure, methods of structure determination, and examples that illustrate the role of protein structure in cell biology. PREREQ: CHEM527 or CHEM641.
-
3.00 Credits
Covers the use of genetic model organisms to answer biological questions, including mapping and cloning of human disease genes and the creation of animal models for human genetic diseases. There is an emphasis on examples from the recent scientific literature and building scientific writing skills. PREREQ: BISC403 and BISC401; or permission of instructor
-
3.00 Credits
Exploration of the theory, methods and experiments underlying current research in evolutionary processes determining genetic variation within and between species, estimation of population structure from genetic data, and the genetics of speciation. PREREQ: BISC403
