  • 3.00 Credits

    Fundamentals of Transmission Electron Microscopy. (3-6). Credit 5. This course is designed to provide students with state-of-the-art fundamentals in transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Students will be equipped with the necessary theoretical background in support of a strong hands-on course component comprising specimen preparation, image acquisition and interpretation. Students will gain sufficient practical experience to attain a proficiency level permitting independent operation of one of the transmission electron microscopes in the Microscopy and Imaging Center. Prerequisite: Students are required to write a half-page summary describing the specific problem they wish to resolve using transmission electron microscopy.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Advanced TEM Methodologies in Life and Material Sciences (TEM II). (1-6). Credit 3. Provides students with advanced TEM methodologies including specimen preparation and TEM imaging/analysis techniques as applicable to both biological and material samples; theory designed to support a strong hands-on component comprising specimen preparation, different imaging/diffraction/spectroscopic techniques and data interpretation. Prerequisites: BIOL 602; graduate classification.
  • 2.00 Credits

    Fundamentals of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy (ESEM). (1-3). Credit 2. Provides biologists, material scientists, and students from other disciplines with the techniques of operation of the scanning electron microscope (SEM) and the environmental SEM (ESEM) coupled with the appropriate theoretical background knowledge; individual instruction in support of their research endeavors involving SEM/ESEM. Prerequisite: Graduate classification.
  • 4.00 Credits

    Principles and Methods of Systematic Biology. (3-3). Credit 4. Evolutionary theory, sub-specific variation, speciation and phylogeny; evolutionary, cladistical and numerical taxonomy, methods and rules used in viral, bacteriological, botanical and zoological classification. Prerequisite: Graduate classification.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Microbial Genetics. (3-0). Credit 3. Basic understanding of microbial genetic systems and how genetic analyses can be used to investigate fundamental biological processes in bacteria. Prerequisite: Approval of instructor.
  • 4.00 Credits

    Terrestrial Ecosystems. (3-3). Credit 4. Population and community structure and function in organization of terrestrial ecosystems, the worldwide pattern of major terrestrial ecosystems. Representative ecosystems studied in the field. Prerequisite: BIOL 357 or equivalent.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Theory and Applications of Light Microscopy. (2-3). Credit 3. This course provides biologists, material scientists and students from other disciplines with the theoretical background and practical techniques of sample preparation, operation of light microscopes as well as image acquisition and processing. In addition, students will receive individual instruction which will facilitate the completion of their research projects involving light microscopic techniques. Prerequisite: half-page write-up describing how their graduate work will benefit.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Molecular Biology of Differentiation and Development. (3-0). Credit 3. Major paradigms of eukaryotic gene regulation in terms of the role of gene expression during ontogeny and the effect of dysfunction in these processes on the neoplastic state. Cross-listed with NRSC 611.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Cell Biology. (3-0). Credit 3. Consideration of the eukaryotic cell as a functional, integrated unit in living organisms: structure, composition, function and biogenesis of subcellular components; dynamic processes and interactions of cells, including division, communication, and death; experimental approaches in modern cell biology and selected applications of experimental cell biology to problems in medicine. Prerequisite: BICH 410 or BIOL 213. Concurrent enrollment in BIOL 213 or BICH 410 strongly discouraged.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Signaling and Development. (3-0). Credit 3. Sensing, signal transduction, regulation, differentiation, and morphogenesis as it occurs in prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms at molecular, cellular, and genetic levels explored through classic and current research literature. Prerequisites: Graduate classification.
